Where is the oil filler on a Cadillac?
Look on the intake tube just past the maf sensor and you will see a black tube attached to it. The tube will go along the side of the motor just under the plastic engine cover where the oil filler is. Remove the oil cap to lift up the engine cover. The tube will go to the back on the driver side with a 90 degree rubber elbow.
