The 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 requires 4 quarts of transmission fluid for the 5-speed manual and 13.5 quarts for a full fill, or 7.7 quarts for a partial fill for the 4-speed automatic. For the 4-speed automatic, it is recommended to use Dexron VI fluid, while for the 5-speed manual, Synthetic gear oil GM P/N 12346190 or an equivalent should be used. Transmission fluid functions as both an oil and a hydraulic fluid, aiding in gear shifts, cooling the transmission, and lubricating moving components. It is advisable to replace the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. If you opt for a mechanic to perform the fluid change, expect labor costs ranging from $170 to $220.
