The recommended transmission fluid type on the 2005 Chevy Silverado is DEXRON IIiAutomatic Transmission Fluid. It's recommended to buy fluid that has "Approved for the H specification" on the label of the bottle. Some of the products that You can purchase are Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic Transmission Fluid Multi-Vehicle or Valvoline Conventional Transmission Fluid DEX/MERC. The purpose of transmission fluid on Your vehicle is to lubricate the transmission and to preserve its life. It preserves its life by cleaning and conditioning its gaskets and regulating the temperature. I would recommend to check the level at least once a week with daily use so that You won't drive around and put Your car at risk.
