When to add coolant to Oldsmobile Alero?

Adding coolant to your Oldsmobile Alero is essential. When the coolant level is low this will cause your car to run hot and possibly overheat. The low coolant level will also prevent the thermostat from opening and sending hot air through your heater. Auto parts stores sell a premixed solution of anti-freeze and water.

When was the last Oldsmobile Alero made?

The Oldsmobile Alero was manufactured in Lansing, Michigan between 1999 and 2004. It was the company’s last compact car produced. One complaint repeated about the car is that it’s difficult to fill with transmission fluid. However, filling the car’s transmission fluid is a relatively simple task once you find the fill cap.

Where to put the transmission fluid in an Oldsmobile Alero?

Open the hood and prop it up with the safety bar. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick. The dipstick is located near the rear of the engine and is labeled “ATF Engine Oil.” Twist off the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean paper towel. Check to see what color the fluid is. The fluid should be a clear red color.

How can I check the coolant level in my Alero?

Check the level by looking down into the radiator neck. If the coolant level is not yet visible, you need to add more until the level reaches the neck. With the cap off the radiator, start the engine. Turn on your heater to assist in dissipating air bubbles in the coolant system. Let the Alero run for 15 minutes.

How long should I let my Alero run?

Let the Alero run for 15 minutes. As air bubbles escape the radiator through the neck, the fluid level will diminish a bit. Top off the fluid with premixed coolant, pouring slowly because air bubbles can cause the fluid to splash. Tighten the pressure cap back on the radiator.
