As per the manual for the 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, previously only Dexron-III was recommended for the transmission fluid. However, GM now advises using Dexron-V ATF as it offers a longer lifespan and better performance in high temperatures. It is advised to regularly check the fluid level, ideally at least once a month. If the level drops below normal, add fluid to bring it back to the appropriate range. Persistent low levels may indicate a leak, so it's important to have the transmission inspected and repaired to prevent overheating and slipping, which can damage the bands and shorten the transmission's lifespan.
