1997 Buick Park Avenue Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Buick? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Buick tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Park Avenue’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Park Avenue is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Park Avenue transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1997 Park Avenue’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Buick. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
