The 2005 Chevy Avalanche comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission that requires 5 quarts of transmission fluid for the initial fill, or 11.2 for a complete refill. The recommended type for this vehicle is Dexron VI, which replaced the previous recommendation of Dexron II. Transmission fluid serves multiple purposes, such as aiding in gear shifts, cooling the transmission, and lubricating moving components. It's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 100,000 miles. The price of transmission fluid for this truck ranges from $6 to $13 per quart depending on the brand and retailer. The cost for a fluid change can vary from $80 to $100 for labor plus additional expenses for parts.
