As an American, I would say: The Chevy Cruze utilizes Dexron VI automatic transmission fluid. It is important not to mix different types of transmission fluid in your vehicle, as this could cause damage to the gears. Chevy recommends changing the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on its condition. It is advisable to check the fluid each time you change the oil. If the fluid is low, it may indicate a transmission leak. Additionally, if the fluid appears to have a metallic sheen or sparkle, it could contain metal particles that may harm the gears. If a third-party shop has performed a transmission fluid change, it's a good idea to contact them to confirm the type of fluid used before adding more.
