The 2005 Chevrolet Equinox uses ATF IV, or GM T-IV/T4 transmission fluid in it's engine. You can not ever use dexron fluid, as it could cause irreparable damage to Your tranny, including causing it to fail and need to be replaced. You can find this transmission fluid at most automotive retail store locations, and from reputable online sources. It can be purchased most often in quart sized containers. You can expect to pay between $4 and $12 per bottle. With a transmission capacity of 11.2 quarts, You should purchase 10 or 11 quarts. To replace the fluid, check the fill level, then using a funnel, pour the new fluid into the reservoir. Replace the cap, and close the hood. You have now replaced Your own transmission fluid.
