The 2005 Chevy Silverado recommends using DEXRON III Automatic Transmission Fluid for optimal performance. Look for fluid labeled "Approved for the H specification" when purchasing. Consider products like Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic Transmission Fluid Multi-Vehicle or Valvoline Conventional Transmission Fluid DEX/MERC. Transmission fluid lubricates and prolongs the life of your vehicle's transmission by cleaning gaskets and regulating temperature. It's advisable to check the fluid level weekly with daily driving to ensure your car stays safe on the road.
Chevrolet suggests using 5W-30 synchromesh fluid for manual transmission versions and full synthetic fluid for automatic transmission versions of the 2005 Silverado.
