Chevrolet Silverado: Vehicle Checks / Automatic Transmission Fluid
When to Check and Change Automatic Transmission Fluid
It is usually not necessary to check the transmission fluid level. The only reason
for fluid loss is a transmission leak or overheated transmission. This vehicle is
not equipped with a transmission fluid level dipstick. There is a special procedure
for checking and changing the transmission fluid in these vehicles. Because this
procedure is difficult, this should be done at the dealer. Contact the dealer for
additional information or the procedure can be found in the service manual. See
Publication Ordering Information.
Caution
Use of the incorrect automatic transmission fluid may damage the vehicle,
and the damage may not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always use the correct
automatic transmission fluid. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants.
Change the fluid and filter at the scheduled maintenance intervals listed in
Maintenance Schedule. Be sure to use the transmission fluid listed in Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants.
