1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Oldsmobile? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Oldsmobile? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my Cutlass Ciera transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1990 Cutlass Ciera’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Oldsmobile. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
