Questions About 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Oldsmobile's brakes? 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.
  • How much can my Oldsmobile tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Silhouette’s towing capacity. 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? Caring for your Oldsmobile Silhouette’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Oldsmobile's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Oldsmobile Silhouette transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Oldsmobile Silhouette, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Where can I get my  Oldsmobile Silhouette transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Silhouette transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Oldsmobile Silhouette if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Silhouette to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
