How do you change transmission filter on a 2003 alero?
Get a jack two jack stands, jack the front of the car up and place the two jack stands under the car, then go to where the transmission is and take the bolt off, then there should be a filter that says transmission filter, the one that says transmission filter will tell you both what part of car you're draining the fluid from and the filter you are taking off. Transmission filters are generally smaller than oil filters. The bolt that you take out should be very close or on the other side touching the same part of the car. Then plug it up when its done draining then jack the car up, take the jack stands off and jack it down. Finally, open the hood and replace the transmission fluid.
What precautions should be taken when operating car lifts?
When using car lifts such as a car jack you need to make sure that you postion the jack under a very solid portion of your car. The frame of your car is very solid is can be used to safely lift your car off the ground, Also after the car has been raised you can secure it with jack stands. The stands can hold the weight of the car without ever losing pressure seeing as they have no pressure. When you are jacking up you car do not put the jack on something that will break or cave in under the weight of your 2000 lb car. An example of this would be your gas tank or a leaf spring. If you manage to get your car raised up with out it fixed to the frame or axle of the car, while under it you could have a very un pleasent experience with death...
