What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1995 Oldsmobile Achieva

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Achieva's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Oldsmobile, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1995 Oldsmobile Achieva to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Oldsmobile's recommendations.
