After purchasing a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, you'll quickly find out that regular fluid changes are necessary. One of these fluids is the differential oil, which should be replaced with 75W-90 fully synthetic gear oil. This truck requires up to three quarts of gear oil, a standard amount for most vehicles. Quart-sized bottles of this oil can be bought at various retail stores, automotive shops, and online. The price typically ranges from $5 to $14 per bottle. If you opt for professional replacement, labor costs can vary between $50 and $189.
