Questions and Answers

Lube, Oil and Filter

Q. I have a 1998 Olds 88LS. V6 3800 When I take the car for Lube , oil and filter change, the people that do the work mark lube as being done. Are there actually lube fittings or are they sealed?

A. The front end parts on that car, and almost every car now, are sealed so there is no lubrication required. Even though the front end is sealed, I have my techs spray all the bushings with CRC 5-56 to keep them supple and prevent squeaking.
