What type of transmission fluid for 2012 chevy cruze?

The manufacturer's specification for the automatic transmission's fluid in the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze is DEXRON-ViAutomatic transmission fluid. Different drivers report getting mixed results with a litany of different ATFs -- Redline D6 seems to be the most commonly recommended. The manufacturer's transmission fluid was stated good for 45,000 miles -- it's almost certain that Your 2012 has been due for at least one change. For best results and to avoid issues with Your Cruze's transmission, You should replace Your transmission fluid every 25,000 to 40,000 miles, and check the levels in between. Running on low or broken down fluid can lead to transmission overheating, which is one of the main causes of transmission failure. It can be a pain to swap Your fluid, but I can tell You from experience (2012 Chevy Sonic, here) that it's a bigger pain to swap Your whole transmission.
