Hello too everyone,
New owner of a 1979 Cutlass Cruiser with the "infamous" v8 oïl burner, l was searching for informations about those curiousity when i have fond this forum. Well, the car is a first hand and totalized 89'000 km, without a Spot of Rust and with service book fille completed. Event If most of people are saying that these engines are dreadfull, i really enjoy driving my old(Lady)smobile!
I will send pictures soon

 

 

Love it! Welcome!

 

Nice car and Welcome to Classic Oldsmobile.

 

Welcome to the site.

 

welcome, I like that!

 

I like that. Most wagons got used up.

Which Diesel does it have, 4.3l or 5.7l ? You have an advantage in that Diesels are more accepted and better understood in Europe than they are in US.

 

A 79 Cutlass Cruiser would have only come with the 5.7L VIN N diesel. The 4.3L diesel was available on lesser Cutlii that year but not in the wagon.

 

Hello everyone,
The engine is a "N" 5,7L with a "D" on the engine block, I was driving the car today for more than 200 km it smells a bit oil because of a leak somewhere around the injection pump, i don't know already from where comes that leak but I hope that I will find it next week

 

Welcome! Would be nice to see a 455 squeezed in under that hood.

 

Welcome to the group... Very clean looking Cruiser...

 

thanks to all of you, i am thinking of replace the "N" engine with something more easy to maintain the day my smooky engine will die...

 

Welcome to the Group.
You have a great looking car.
I have been going to car shows for 10+ years and have never seen an Oldsmobile Diesel.
I wish you the best of luck with your car. Miles71
Would like to see a Engine picture.

 

Welcome, Nice Olds! I had the pleasure of spending a couple of weeks in your country back in 1994. Working on a new King Air at Trans Air Co in Geneva. Beautiful country, I will never forget the verification flight through (not over) the Alps. The pilot was a former military pilot and gave us quite a ride.
