1987 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S10 Blazer’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my S10 Blazer's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Chevrolet S10 Blazer’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Chevrolet's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Chevrolet S10 Blazer? Yes. Chevrolet S10 Blazer transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
