Want this question answered?
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
The fill port cap is on top of the transaxle. It is red, about the size of a golf ball. It is threaded into the transaxle and you to turn it counter clockwise to remove it.
It is located on the right side of the engine near the rear. If you take a look at the near the base of the engine there is a red cap and that is it.
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.
You fill transmission with fluid through the transmission fluid dipstic tube
I have a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero, and there is no dipstick. There is a fill cap directly below the mass air flow sensor next to the exhaust pipe, and no it isn't always red, but it should have a little gear on it. As far as the level of the transmission fluid, there are many answers, and most are incorrect. On the 3400 (V-6) transmission (like mine) there is a fill plug on the passenger side of the transmission in between the transmission pan and the oil pan. The car needs to be level, put a drain pan underneath the 7/16 plug, then remove plug with the engine off. Ad tranny fluid until it spills out,.....with the plug still removed, start the car,....let it warm up for about 5 minutes,.....then apply the brakes and put the shifter in each gear for about 3 seconds,....then ad fluid again until it oozes out the plug hole,..... then replace the fill plug. If you just replaced the filter in the transmission, this could take 7 quarts of tranny fluid.
where do yuo drain and fill transmission fluid in a 2004 cadillac srx
Where do I fill the transmission fluid gmc Safari van?
It won't have one. The owner's manual will specify what the time intervals are for a fluid change. If you lost the owners manual, you will have to go and ask the dealer.AnswerThis transmission in the Alero, Grand Am, and Malibu has a fill cap. On the side of the trans near the bottom is a plug you remove to check the level; similar to a rear end or manual trans. The car needs to be running in park and jacked up level.
Thur the dip stick..... Thur the dip stick.....
Where you get your dipstik from
I had a 2000 Olds Alero 4 cylinder. There is not a dipstick for the transmission, it can be checked by hoisting the vehicle and remove the fill nut/cap. If the fluid is at the top there is enough. I would recommend taking it to the shop for this, as I do not have the specifics of where it is located. I have a 2000 Alero v 6 engine automstic trans and mine is what they call a sealed for life transmission, it does have a filler cap but no dipstick. so the previous answer would be correct to check the fluid level and as long as u have no leaks from the tranny u shouldn't have to add any if little at all, Sincerely, TONY ,, Indianapolis, IN.
