What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1987 Oldsmobile Firenza

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Firenza's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Oldsmobile, from back to front. It’s one of your Firenza’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1987 Oldsmobile Firenza, 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.

Your Oldsmobile Firenza may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. A lot depends on your driving style and climate.

  • How does Oldsmobile drivetrain maintenance help 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.
  • How do I know if my Oldsmobile drivetrain is damaged? Hear noises toward the back of your Oldsmobile Firenza? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • How often should I come in for Oldsmobile Firenza differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • What causes a Firenza’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? If your Firenza has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • Can you reset your Firenza’s malfunction warning light at home? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Firenza, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Firenza to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Firenza serious? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Firenza. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Firenza.
  • Does my Firenza drivetrain include the transmission? The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Firenza is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
