Can Pontiac service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Pontiac drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Pontiac 6000, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Pontiac 6000 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 6000?

A multitude of problems can activate your 6000’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 6000 check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your 6000, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your 6000 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 6000?

Is my 6000’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 6000’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 6000 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
