You can check the automatic Transmission Fluid on an Olds Alero by finding the check plug. It is located about half way down on the transmission. Loosen the plug and slowly pull it out.
Same place you check the fluid level.
use, DEXRON III automatic transmission fluid
All automatic transmissions add fluid in the dipstick tube.
how do you check transmission fluids
Can't find it ? It does not have one ! Only has a fill cap. Fluid is checked by removing a plug on transmissin. This is great job for GM dealer.
Is your Alero a 2.4, a 2.2 ecotec or a 3400?
If your Oldsmobile Alero will not shift into overdrive, the transmission may have froze up. Check the fluid levels to determine if you are low on fluid.
There is no definite way to check the ATF in a 2000 Alero. There is a filler cap on the left side of the transaxle, but no dip stick. I changed the filter and fluid in mine recently and measured the drained fluid best I could and replaced it with a like amount plus one and a half quarts. This brought the level that was visible in the filler hole to about two inches below the top. A poor system, at best.
in the dipstick hole.
need to know if it is and automatic or a standard shift transmission Automatic has no dipstick to check trans fluid.
