Here's why:
* Different models have different transmissions: Chevrolet made many models in 1995 (Cavalier, Silverado, Tahoe, etc.) and each model might have a different transmission (automatic or manual).
* Different transmissions use different fluids: Automatic transmissions use ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), but even within ATF, there are different types (Dexron, Mercon, etc.). Manual transmissions use gear oil, and again, there are different types depending on the specific transmission.
To find the correct transmission fluid, you need to:
1. Identify your transmission type: Look for a sticker on the transmission itself, or check your owner's manual or online resources (like your Chevrolet dealership website).
2. Check your owner's manual: Your manual should have a section on fluids, including the recommended transmission fluid for your specific vehicle.
3. Consult a mechanic: If you're still unsure, a mechanic can help you identify the correct fluid for your Chevy.
Important Note: Using the wrong transmission fluid can damage your transmission and lead to costly repairs. It's always best to use the recommended fluid from your owner's manual.
