how do you check transmission fluids
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.
there is no dipstick for the transmission on an alero there is a fill spot crammed on the transmission beside the motor to check it you get under and pull out a plug on the tranny
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.
In The Oldmobile Alero 2.4 L transmission and 3.4L v6, refer to the manual on " Park Level Transmission Fluid Check, There is a bolt on the driver side of the transmission usually a dealer or repair shop should check the level for you..
It has a sealed tranny. No dipstick means you can't check it and it shouldn't leak or be low so take it to a shop!!!
The transmission fluid dipstick for the Oldsmobile Alero does not exist. In place of the traditional fluid checking mechanism, the Alero has two caps. One of these is red, is located in the vicinity of the master brake cylinder, and is for refilling transmission fluid. The other cap, or plug, is 15mm and roughly halfway down the transmission. Loosen it carefully. If fluid comes out, the transmission fluid is good. If not, however, more fluid must be added.
A 2000 Oldsmobile Alero V6 requires 6.8 quarts of Dexron III fluid.
You can't. It's a sealed transmission, and has no spout or dipstick. All service to the transmission should be done by a dealer.
To keep a car running its best, a person has to keep the fluid levels maintained. The 2000 Oldsmobile Alero uses 12 quarts of transmission fluid.Ê
