Good morning everyone, All this talk about oil and coolant mixing together prompted me to go check my own 97 Catera, and sure enough -- oil and coolant have...
I had the same exact problem. I replaced it with a Fram Sure Drain plug. It cost about $10 at Autozone. In fact, I think you can find the exact one that fits...
On the side of the rad on the driver side-very bottom of the rad. It is red plastic. If you look underneath the front valence panel just ahead of the left...

Greetings ( + )!( + ) Eric, the link that you provided is for a "Transmission" oil cooler, you want an engine oil cooler. Search the archives for oil cooler...
I just bought a 2001 Catera Sport that's fully loaded except for the rear heated seats. Love the car and everything about it. The only problem I have is that...
Beauty is apparently in the eye of the beholder.... I think you may find the timing belt "recall" wasn't actually a "recall" - they called it something else, ...
I had the same problem. I have generally had my oil changed at Firestone, and since they were the primary "oil changer", they replaced my pan AND plug. They...
Incorrect. The timing belt was an actual RECALL. What the dealer meant is that there are no OPEN recalls on your VIN number. All the recall campaigns have been...
Actually, I think it was a recall. But the weasel-word here would be "active". The time frame to apply for the timing belt issue has expired, therefore, there...
They are available from a number of online sources, parts houses, etc. There are links in the Parts folder in Links, and they show up on eBay as well. Be...
I ran across this recently from Salon.com in 1997 - some of you may have heard the usually manic Ian Shoales on NPR. It's a funny read - well I think anyway....
Let's hope so anyway. Call your dealer or take your car in and let them check the VIN's service history - that will confirm what "campaigns" have been done on...

The Cadillac dealer (Hennessey in Atlanta) stripped mine- I asked them about replacing it with a larger diameter plug, and they claimed that because of the way...
To everyone who has had the problem of a shop stripping the oil drain plug, I suggest you purchase a T40 torx driver and keep it in your glovebox and let the...
In the end I took my car back to the Jiffy Lube that did the last oil change. Their manager was very professional and helpful. He took the old plug out (it...
Randall, I would suggest not using Jiffy lube ever again. If you search the posts using key word jiffy lube you will see an email sent out by Chad I believe ...
MY Catera (1999) has the rear sun shade as well. My button is on the console instead of the dash though. I have the service manuals that tell how to fix it, I...
My 1998 Catara has just over 41,000 miles on it, and needs a new set of tires. The current set was put on under warranty at about 26,000 miles. To avoid...
Thank you, You just explained another weird thing, one window was OK, the one I have run up and down a couple of times. I was showing my wife how it DIDN'T...
Chad, Thanx, they did have the battery disconnected at the shop. I've been looking at my Cat sort of cross eyed lately. I think when she hits 200K I will put...
Greetings ( + )!( + ) The first thing that you should do is get a new "Oil Drain Plug" from the dealer. Next remove the bad drain plug and drain the oil and...
