I currently have an 2001 Alero and it has 200800 miles one it. I have not had to replace the engine or transmission. The only issue is the fuel injection. I pay that is all that goes wrong.
The Oldsmobile Alero has a capacity of 9.5 quarts of transmission oil. It is important to use Dexron III oil and not Mercon.
I have a 2003 Alero While it sits in the sun for hours it will not start up and when the sun goes down it will start what could be the problem
2.2l ecotec = 5 quarts 2.4l twin cam = 4 quarts 3.4l = 4.5 quarts 5w30
Check the vacuum line to the MAP sensor. Mine was cracked and I replaced it, and it stopped this problem completely. It only cost me 52 cents, too!
Just unbolt the power steering pump (2 -13mm bolts) and its right there, 2 10mm bolts and the outlet coms out. New one goes in with gasket and silicone and your good to go...
The Mass Air Senor is located on the driver's side of the engine. It is attached to the air box lid.
broken clutch cable could also be a shot slave cylinder...this will cause the clutch pedal to not come back up.
Sounds like maybe the head gasket let go when it got hot. Hopefully it did not warp the head. If it did, it's still not the end of the world. When you have the head off to change the gasket, have it checked and if necessary, have it planed a couple of thousandths t true it up.
