Questions About 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Oldsmobile's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Oldsmobile Silhouette? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Silhouette towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Silhouette is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Silhouette's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2000 Silhouette’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Oldsmobile Silhouette? Yes. Oldsmobile Silhouette transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
