How does Buick drivetrain maintenance help save money?

When should I come in for Buick Lucerne differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Lucerne?

Can you reset your Lucerne’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Lucerne's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Lucerne.

If your Lucerne has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Lucerne drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Lucerne’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Lucerne forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2010 Buick Lucerne Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Lucerne's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Lucerne’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2010 Buick Lucerne to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Buick's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Buick Lucerne Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2010 Buick Lucerne drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Buick could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Buick Lucerne doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2010 Buick Lucerne drivetrain repair is expensive. Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
