Can Oldsmobile drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Oldsmobile drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Oldsmobile Silhouette, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Oldsmobile Silhouette differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Silhouette’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your Silhouette’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the Silhouette check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Silhouette?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Silhouette should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my Silhouette’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Silhouette’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Silhouette forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
