How many cold cranking amps should the battery in a 1995 Delta 88 have?

A 1995 Oldsmobile Delta 88's recommended cold cranking amps (CCA) rating isn't a single, universally specified number. It depends on the engine size and options (like power accessories). A larger engine and more accessories will require a higher CCA battery.

To find the correct CCA rating, you should:

* Check your owner's manual: This is the best source. It will specify the recommended battery group size and CCA rating.

* Look at the old battery: The CCA rating is usually printed on the battery's top or side. This will tell you what the previous owner used, which is a good starting point.

* Consult a parts store website or catalog: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or NAPA Auto Parts allow you to search by vehicle year, make, and model to find compatible batteries and their CCA ratings.

Without knowing the specific engine (3.1L V6, 3.8L V6, etc.) in your 1995 Delta 88, it's impossible to give a precise CCA recommendation. However, a range of 450-600 CCA is a reasonable estimate for a vehicle of that era and size. Using the resources above to check for your specific car is strongly recommended to ensure you get the right battery.
