The manufacturer recommends using Dexron VI ATF for the 2008 GMC Sierra transmission. When changing the transmission fluid, you will need 6 quarts. Neglecting to change the fluid as scheduled can result in metal shavings and contaminants causing damage to the transmission, shortening its lifespan. It is crucial to monitor the transmission fluid level regularly between services. Allowing the transmission fluid to run low may lead to improper shifting or failure to shift at all. To check the transmission fluid, warm up the engine, have it running in park, and pull out the transmission dipstick.
