1992 Buick Riviera Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Buick's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Buick? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Riviera towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Riviera is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Riviera's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1992 Riviera’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Buick Riviera transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Buick Riviera, potentially causing transmission problems.
