What is the best replacement ATF for 2000 Alero?

I have an Oldsmobile Alero, year 2000. What is the best replacement ATF to use with this car? I have read that Dexron III was originally recommended. I have also read that GM is now using only Dexron VI (6) for their vehicles--even for older ones like mine. Can I just have the current ATF drained and replaced with fresh Dex VI?

FYI: The car's ATF has been replaced several times over the years. I just let the dealership do it and do not know what they put in.

Dexron VI is fine for what you're doing. These "upgraded" fluids are made to be compatible with the older ones as well as the new ones.

Testimonial: "Thank you very much and very best wishes."

Where is the dip stick for the transmission on a 2000 Oldsmobile asero

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.

Rear defrost won't work in 2000 alero v6

Check the fuse first. Then check the resistance of the Defroster grid w/ohm meter. As long as you measure anything BUT infinate, its ok. If ok replace the timer/switch module in the dash panel.

2003 OLDS ALERO WITH 2.2 LIFTER WILL NOT PUMP UP

Replace the lifter, but before putting in new ones soak them in lighter weight engine oil or EOS that the dealer has. if you are watching your budget you ATF. I just purcased a 2000 alero with the same problem. That is what I am going to do and replace tensioner guides.
