The 2001 Chevy Silverado truck comes with a standard 4-speed automatic transmission that requires Dexron VI Automatic transmission fluid. This type of transmission fluid is widely available, so you won't have trouble finding it at any store, including big box stores like Walmart. The initial fill requires 5 US quarts, with a total fill capacity of 11.2 US quarts. As it requires a large amount of fluid, you may need to buy several large containers, which could cost around $100 depending on the brand you choose.
