What is the fluid capacity of a transmission on 2000 Chevrolet Silverado?

The fluid capacity of a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado's transmission depends entirely on which transmission it has. The Silverado offered several different transmissions in 2000. You'll need to find out which transmission is in your specific truck. This information is usually found:

* On a sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb. This sticker often lists the vehicle's specifications, including the transmission type.

* In your owner's manual. This is the most reliable source.

* By checking the transmission itself. The transmission case may have a casting number which can be used to identify the transmission type.

Once you know the transmission type (e.g., 4L60E, 4L80E), you can then search online (e.g., using Google or a parts website) for the correct fluid capacity for a *fill* and a *total* capacity. The fill capacity is how much fluid you add during a fill, while total capacity is the total amount the transmission holds. These are different numbers.
