1986 Oldsmobile Firenza Questions & Answers

  • 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.
  • How much can my Oldsmobile tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Firenza’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Firenza is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Firenza's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Oldsmobile Firenza transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Oldsmobile Firenza leak transmission fluid? Yes. Oldsmobile Firenza transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing.
