Can Buick service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Buick drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Buick LaCrosse? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Buick LaCrosse differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my LaCrosse malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your LaCrosse’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can my LaCrosse malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my LaCrosse?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your LaCrosse. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your LaCrosse.

Does my LaCrosse drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your LaCrosse is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

Your LaCrosse drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Buick, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2013 Buick LaCrosse, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Buick's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
