The 2006 Chevy Silverado is designed to be used with Dexron VI transmission fluid. If you have always had your truck serviced at a Chevrolet dealership, this is the fluid that will be in it. However, if you have taken your truck to a third-party mechanic, it's a good idea to confirm which type of fluid they have used in your transmission. It is important not to mix different types of transmission fluid as it can compromise the protection of your gears. It's recommended to change your transmission fluid every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on the condition. When you change your oil, be sure to also check the fluid in your gearbox to ensure it is at the proper level and free from any metallic debris.
