The 2001 Chevy Silverado is fitted with A4L60e transmission and has a capacity of 13.6 US quarts. Dexron ViATF, as the manufacturer says, is the preferred fluid. To maintain the transmission running at full output, an automatic transmission fluid and filter should be serviced and flushed every 60,000 miles. You will get it serviced every 45,000 miles if You are towing a heavy load like a trailer fairly regularly for the tractor. This is vital because it helps You to avoid any gear slippage or other problems that can cause serious transmission damage. d***y transmission fluid does not allow the tranny gears to be well lubricated, which will enable the gears to grind metal to metal and You will have metal parts and debris within the fluid from the grinding, which will cause further problems. The transmission cost will range from $7 to $10 a quarter, which will depend on the fluid's consistency and brand.

The 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 4L60E transmission takes 13.6 US quarts. The transmission fluid is a slippery liquid that acts as a lubricant for all the moving parts inside your transmission. In an automatic transmission, this fluid also serves as a coolant and a viscous fluid that transmits power from the engine to the transmission.
