Is there a certain type of transmission fluid that I should use for my 2001 Olds Alero?
yes you use DEXRON VI or any other brand fluid meeting the same GM STANDARDS as DEXRON VI, Pennsoil makes a less expensive ATF that fills the bill.

How much tras fluid does my 2001 Saturn hold. 5 speed automatic trans.
Capacity - 7.3 Quarts (6.9 Liters) Use only Dexron III ATF

Be careful not to overfill. If the level is too high, the fluid can become mixed with air (aerated) causing shifting problems, slippage and noise.

Type and capacity of fluids
The kind of fluid needed is called GLS this is not something you can get at some grease and go. To my knowledge this particular fluid is still a dealer only item. DO NOT put ATF in your transfer case. I don't remember the capacity but the dealership would have this information.
