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.
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.
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 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
how do you check transmission fluids
Your 2002 Alero has to be lifted up on a hoist and there is a plug that has to be removed. There is no dipstick. Once the plug has been opened you can insert your finger in the hole to see if there is oil in there.
Check your owner's manual. Under heavy driving conditions, the factory owner's manual suggests changing it at 50,000 miles.
You can find sliders for a window regulator on an Oldsmobile Alero at most auto parts stores. Another option, is to check with local junk yards.
Check fuse nr 34 under hood!
In the 2000 Alero, it is fuse 34 in the engine fuse box, which is located near the battery. You can check the same fuse for the 1999 Alero and see if that is it.
7 quarts if you are changing the filter and draining it. The darn thing does not have a transmission dipstick so check the owners manual for exact amount. You should be good with about 6 to 7 quarts no matter what.
Auto or Std.? auto I have a 2000 Alero and my transmission is an automatic and only has a filler cap, and this tranny is a sealed for life transmission with no dipstick, so no way of checking it unless u get under the car and loosen the trans plug on the side of tranny and if it runs out ur ok, if noy add a little that's the best answer i got 4 ya, but mine is a seled for life tranny no dipstick and no way of checking it, and as long as u don't have a leak u should not have to add any, thanx, Sincerley, TONY, Indpls, IN....
