What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora

Your Aurora drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Oldsmobile, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Aurora and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Oldsmobile's recommendations.

When to Get Oldsmobile Aurora Drivetrain Repairs
