The 2005 Chevy Colorado requires Dexron VI Transmission Fluid with a capacity of 6 quarts. Transmission fluid, like oil, acts as a lubricant to protect the transmission components from heat damage. The typical cost for a transmission fluid change for your Colorado ranges from $110 to $140 for labor, with parts priced around $70. It is recommended to have your transmission fluid changed every 30,000 miles. Signs indicating the need for a fluid change include grinding noises, difficulty shifting gears, slippage during gear changes, sudden surges, and delays in movement after shifting into gear.
In a 2005 Chevy Colorado, the type of transmission fluid recommended is dexron iii. Use this specific fluid for optimal performance of your vehicle's transmission system.
A General Motors service bulletin has revised the fluid specification to Dexron VI.
