Your Cutlass Salon’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the 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: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon, 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.

  •  Can Oldsmobile drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are the symptoms of a damaged Oldsmobile drivetrain system? Noises toward the back of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • When should I come in for Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon differential service? Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • What causes a Cutlass Salon’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Cutlass Salon’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can my Cutlass Salon malfunction warning light be reset at home? Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
  • How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Cutlass Salon? If your Cutlass Salon has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.
  • Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Cutlass Salon? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Cutlass Salon’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Cutlass Salon forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
