1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible review from North America
"The Cutlass Supreme is a bucket of fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At first the car was using some oil. I replaced the valve covers to correct this problem. The new valve covers had the oil breather in a different spot, this corrected the problem.
Second, I replaced my timing belt at the same time. Even though the car only had about 30,000 miles on it, since it was going on 6 years old at the time I decided to replace it. Plus I have heard of premature snapping on the 3.4L DOHC.
I recently replaced the convertible top and the alternator. Other than that, the car has been great and lots of fun.
General comments?
The front defroster's plastic dash cover tends to pop up on these models. Mine has started already.
One rear power window has problems going down unless it is helped by hand. The window however has no problem going up so I haven't fixed it.
The one thing I have done consistently is change the oil. Since I only driven the car on a limited basis, I change the oil every 2000-2500 miles.
