1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Oldsmobile? 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 your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Intrigue’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Intrigue's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Oldsmobile Intrigue’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Oldsmobile. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Oldsmobile Intrigue leak transmission fluid? Yes. Oldsmobile Intrigue transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Where can I get my  Oldsmobile Intrigue transmission fixed? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

  • Can I still drive my Oldsmobile Intrigue if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Intrigue if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
