2018 GMC Savana 3500 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your GMC? 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 I tow in a GMC Savana 3500? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is.

  • Does my Savana 3500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your GMC Savana 3500 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 GMC, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my GMC Savana 3500 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your GMC Savana 3500 can develop a transmission fluid leak.
