Car Displayed: 2001 Oldsmobile Alero GL 2.4L 4 Cyl. Sedan (4 Door)

The 2001 Oldsmobile Alero GL is relatively easy to maintain. The open access to the engine coolant reservoir will allow you to reliably monitor the fluid level. Replacing or jumpstarting the battery won’t be a problem thanks to the unobstructed position of it in the engine bay. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together, allowing for quick removal and hassle-free set-up in the event you’ll need to service a flat.

However, the 2001 Oldsmobile Alero GL does have some tedious downsides. All of the lights will require their respective housings to be removed should any of the bulbs need replacement. Some of these procedures will require tools and will be rather time-consuming. Changing the engine air filter will also require tools and won’t make for reliable replacements. Checking the transmission fluid on a regular basis will be a problem as this vehicle lacks a dipstick.
