Can Oldsmobile drivetrain maintenance help me save 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 Oldsmobile drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Oldsmobile Omega? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Oldsmobile Omega 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.

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

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Omega’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the Omega malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Omega’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. 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 Omega?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Omega, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Omega?

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

It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1983 Oldsmobile Omega, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Oldsmobile's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
