2008 Pontiac Torrent Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Pontiac's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Pontiac? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Torrent’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Torrent is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Torrent transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Pontiac Torrent transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Pontiac's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Pontiac Torrent? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Pontiac Torrent, potentially causing transmission problems.
