Questions About 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette’s Transmission

  • How much can my Oldsmobile tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Silhouette’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Silhouette's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2001 Silhouette’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Oldsmobile Silhouette transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Oldsmobile Silhouette can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Silhouette ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.

You might even experience transmission failure.
