Chevrolet Silverado Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will regularly require a wide range of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are generally thinner and are regularly red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more stout and thicker due to additives and other important compounds necessary to lubricate the gearbox and other components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is vastly different.

Automatic transmissions generate substantial heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more regularly. If you don't change your Chevrolet Silverado transmission fluid, your transmission will have hazardous broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the critical parts of your Chevrolet Silverado. You should regularly check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be very difficult to do. Call or visit Bill Estes Chevy Indianapolis for more advice if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
