How long do alero last
We r looking at a 2004 Olds Alero that had 186,000 on it. How many miles do
these cars usually go as far as mileage?
Have an '04 Alero with the 2.2 Ecotec, just rolled over 264000. Add 1 qt.oil between 5000 mile oil changes
I keep the oil changed every 5000 miles and the car has 330,000 miles on it. It just started using a pint of oil between oil changes. It is my daily driver. I drive about 56 RT miles to work and home every day. BTW, I bought my 2000 Alero new.
Change the oil and flush the tranny regularly, also watch out for motor mount failure
I have an 04 3.4 Oldsmobile Alero with 202,900 miles. I got it at 191,000 miles, I flushed coolant and switched from Dexcool to “Green Stuff”, replaced water pump, replaced all spark plugs all ignition coils, obviously the wires, the EGR Valve, a fuel filter, hazard switch, the whole AC system- compressor/accumulator & orophix tube. New front wheel bearings and outer tie rods- both sides. Different rims, a new OEM paint job and tint to top it off. Driven it 11k since May 2020 (it is now only august) back and forth from SC to TN for 5 hours straight religiously. I drive her heavy. I use conventional to make up for age in the engine. I change EVERY 3000 miles usually a couple hundred early. All is good. BUT...I HAVE NEVER TOUCHED THE TRANS FLUID BECAUSE IT DROVE PERFECT AND I DIDNT KNOW ENOUGH HISTORY.. should I flush or spill and fill? should I leave it alone? It has no codes.
