I'm wondering if anyone had ever posted a list of changes for each model year of the Aurora (both gens).
I did a search but didn't find anything.
Thanks!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldsmobile_AuroraThough it is less detailed for the second generation. I don't think much changed with the second generation minus no longer offering the V6 in later years and the trunk being two pieces around the license plate instead of one piece.

2001 models easy to rust 2002 and 2003 models made better and dont rust as much. 2gen came with Stability control and rain sensing wiper options i dont think 1g had those options . When you change to aftermarket radio DIC information doesnt go away unlike on 1st gen. first gen had more issues with headgasket compare to 2nd gen.

The 4.0 in the 2G had a lot of upgrades over the 4.0 in the Classic. I think that the only things carried over were the bore & stroke, the oil capacity, and the HP rating. And the 2G 4.0 had a slight reduction in compression ratio to allow the use of regular gas.

You'll think I'm joking, but the Wikipedia entry "Oldsmobile Aurora" has a nice digest of the year-by-year changes.

Just became a proud new owner of an 03 2G as of 11/20 and interested to know more. |
