Additional Notes

  • The Oldsmobile Alero (USA / CAN) manual transaxle capacity is 1.7 liters across both available engine configurations, the 2.2 16V and the 2.4 16V.
  • The 2.2 16V engine was paired with the manual transaxle from 2002-2004, while the 2.4 16V covered the earlier 1999-2001 production span, meaning no single engine served the full 1999-2004 range in manual transmission form.
  • A 1.7-liter fill capacity for a manual transaxle is a relatively modest volume, consistent with compact front-wheel-drive transaxle designs where the gearbox and differential share a common fluid sump.
  • Both configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 1.7-liter capacity figure applies to standard operating circumstances rather than severe-duty or first-change-only scenarios.
  • The capacity value listed for both engine variants represents a service fill quantity, which is the amount used during a routine fluid change rather than a dry-fill overhaul figure that would account for an empty unit.
