If you're wondering about the correct transmission fluid for your 2001 Chevy S-10, you've come to the right place. For automatic transmissions, it's recommended to use DEXRON-IIi Automatic Transmission Fluid. If you have a manual V6 engine, you should go for SynC-HRomesh Transmission Fluid (GM Part No. 12345349 or equivalent). And if your engine is manual L4, Friction Modified SynC-HRomesh Transmission Fluid (GM Part No. 12377916) is the way to go. Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in keeping your transmission clean, lubricated, and cool to prevent overheating, which can lead to costly issues down the road.
Dexron III may be suitable for your older model transmission, but upgrading to Dexron VI can enhance its performance. Dexron VI was first introduced in 2006.
Dexron VI serves as the transmission fluid for the 2001 Chevy S10 pickup truck.
Is it alright to use Valvoline Dexmerc transmission fluid in my 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT with a 5.3L engine?
Dex Merc is essentially the same as Dexron 3, which is the recommended type for my vehicle.
