The 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD requires 7.8 pints of transmission fluid for the manual, 7.7 quarts for the initial fill and 13.5 quarts for the total fill for the 4-speed automatic, and 7.4 quarts for the initial fill and 12.7 quarts for the total fill for the 5-speed automatic. The recommended transmission fluid types are synthetic gear oil with GM part number 12346190 for the manual, and Dexron VI for the 4 and 5-speed automatic transmissions. The transmission fluid is essential for shifting gears, cooling the transmission, and lubricating moving parts. It is advised to change the fluid every 100,000 miles under normal conditions, or every 50,000 miles if operating in more extreme conditions. The estimated cost for a transmission fluid change for the truck ranges between $100 and $130 for labor, plus additional costs for parts.
The transmission fluid capacity for a 2005 Chevy 2500hd is 11.2 Quarts.
