1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS review from North America
"Superlative mid-sized sedan!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crank sensor replaced at 87K miles.
MAF cleaned at 87K miles.
Air & gas filters replaced at 87K miles.
Needs new rear struts (leaking).
Seems to go through oil pretty quickly (low oil light is on at 3000 miles consistently). Usually down 1.5 quarts, with total oil capacity of 5.5 quarts.
General comments?
Other than normal maintenance (tires, brakes, oil changes, etc.), I have had NO mechanical/performance issues (prior to Service Engine Soon light on at 87K miles). Vehicle has been paid for over-and-over; hope I get another 87K maintenance-free miles out of it!
