Can Buick drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Buick drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Buick Regal? 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.

When should I come in for Buick Regal differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What causes a Regal’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Regal’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the Regal malfunction warning light on my own?

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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Regal serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Regal should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Regal drivetrain include the transmission?

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