1987 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Questions & Answers

  • How much can my Oldsmobile tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Custom Cruiser towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Custom Cruiser's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser’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 Oldsmobile's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
