How Much Transmission Fluid Does a Chevy Cruze Take?

The Chevrolet Cruze with 9-speed automatic transmission takes 10 quarts of transmission fluid. The Chevy Cruze with 6-speed automatic transmission takes 9 quarts of transmission fluid.

If the incorrect automatic transmission fluid is used, the car may be damaged, and the damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always use genuine Toyota automatic transmission fluid.

 

What Kind Of A Transmission Fluid Does a Chevy Cruze Take?

Chevy Cruze with automatic transmission (except ECO) requires DEXRON-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid. Automatic Transmission (ECO Only) requires CVT Fluid (GM Part No. 19355873, in Canada 19355874).

For manual transmission, it requires Manual Transmission Fluid (GM Part No. 19259104, in Canada 19259105). It is not necessary to check the manual transmission fluid level. Only a transmission fluid leak results in fluid loss. If a leak occurs, have the car serviced as soon as possible at your dealer.

You should change the transmission fluid at every 45,000 miles (72,000 km).

The vehicle lacks a transmission fluid level dipstick. There are distinct guidelines for checking and replacing the transmission fluid. This should be done at a dealership since it is complicated.
