  • What can I tow in a Oldsmobile? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Toronado towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Oldsmobile Toronado? Yes. Oldsmobile Toronado transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
