In addition, the automatic’s Dexron III transmission fluid never needs replacement under normal service.Īs a front-wheel drive, both wheels and tires are of great importance in order to control the power. Teamed with the four-cam engine is GM’s 4T65-E four-speed automatic.Īs a step above the standard 4T60-E Lumina automatic, technical features of the 4T65-E include electronic controls that adjust shift quality and adapt to changing conditions controls that protect against over-revving the engine in low-range gears and a dual- phase sprocket for the chain system. That, however, is really not too much of a difference considering the power differential between the two motors. For the 3.1-liter engine, it is 20 mpg /29 mpg. Mileage for the 3.4-liter is 17 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. The flip side of this performance picture is that those horses take some oats to make them go, with a drop of about three miles per gallon. The heart of the Lumina LTZ’s performance orientation is its optional 3.4-liter, double overhead-cam V-6 engine.īy upgrading from the standard 3.1-liter V-6 and adding four overhead cams and four valves per cylinder, a quantum leap is made in available power. The LTZ is its own Lumina, designed as a driver’s car but still offering the comfort and convenience of a five-passenger four- door. On hand is an optional 215-horsepower V-6, a new four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission high-speed, 16-inch tires for enhanced traction and exclusive exterior and interior styling themes. But it is the LTZ that causes the sedan to soar to new heights of performance.
