To find the correct amount, you need to:
1. Locate your transmission type: This information is usually found on a sticker on the transmission itself, or in your owner's manual. Common transmissions for this year and model include the 4L60E, 4L80E, and Allison 1000.
2. Consult your owner's manual: Once you know the transmission type, your owner's manual will specify the correct amount of fluid needed for a fill.
3. Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your year and model Silverado will give detailed specifications, including transmission fluid capacity.
Do not attempt to guess the amount. Using too little or too much transmission fluid can severely damage your transmission.
