1996 Buick Regal Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Buick's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Buick? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Regal’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Regal's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Buick Regal transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Buick, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Buick Regal leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Buick Regal, potentially causing transmission problems.
