1990 Pontiac 6000 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Pontiac'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 I tow in a Pontiac 6000? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

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 Pontiac, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Pontiac 6000 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Pontiac 6000, potentially causing transmission problems.
