1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Oldsmobile's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Oldsmobile? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Cutlass Salon towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
