How often should I come in for Pontiac Parisienne differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Parisienne?

Can my Parisienne malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Parisienne’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

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