Questions About 2004 Oldsmobile Alero’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Oldsmobile's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Oldsmobile tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Alero towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Alero transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Oldsmobile Alero’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Oldsmobile. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Oldsmobile Alero? Yes. Oldsmobile Alero transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
