Questions About 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Oldsmobile? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 it is. 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.
  • When should I have my Delta 88's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Oldsmobile Delta 88’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Oldsmobile, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Oldsmobile Delta 88 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Oldsmobile Delta 88 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Delta 88 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

  • Is it okay to drive a Delta 88 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
