The 2004 Chevy Colorado has a 4-speed automatic transmission that requires Dexron III ATF fluid, while the 5-speed manual transmission uses 75W-90 gear oil. It is recommended to have a flush and filter change for the transmission every 30,000 miles to prevent issues such as hesitation, slipping between gears, idle surging, reduced speed capacity, and potential difficulty shifting into gears or getting stuck in park. To avoid premature transmission failure, it is crucial to adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines for lubricants and maintenance schedules. Typically, the cost for a fluid change for the Colorado's transmission ranges between $170-$200 for materials and labor.
