The 2006 Chevy Silverado requires Dexron VI Transmission Fluid with a capacity of 11.2 quarts. Just like oil, transmission fluid acts as a lubricant to protect the transmission components from heat damage. The cost to change the transmission fluid on your Silverado ranges from $170 to $220 for labor, with parts priced at $80. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. Signs indicating the need for a transmission fluid change include grinding noise from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slipping during gear changes, sudden surges, and delayed movement after putting the vehicle in gear.
The specified amount of transmission fluid needed for a 2006 Chevy Silverado is 11.2 Quarts.
I'm guessing it requires around 2 to 4 quarts.
