1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Oldsmobile? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Oldsmobile? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Cutlass Cruiser’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Cutlass Cruiser's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser leak transmission fluid? Yes. Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
