1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Transmission Q&A

  • 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. 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 volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Delta 88’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Delta 88 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Delta 88 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Oldsmobile Delta 88’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Oldsmobile's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
