* Online Resources: Search online using the specific year, make, model, and *transmission type* (e.g., "1995 Chevy Blazer 4L60E transmission fluid capacity"). The transmission type is crucial because different transmissions hold different amounts of fluid. You can usually find the transmission type on a sticker on the transmission itself or in your owner's manual. Reliable sources include:
* Repair manuals: Sites like Chilton or Haynes offer online access or downloadable repair manuals. These are usually very detailed.
* Automotive forums: Forums dedicated to Chevy Blazers or specific transmission types (like the 4L60E or 700R4, common in 1995 Blazers) are a great place to ask experienced owners. Be sure to specify your transmission type.
* Online parts stores: Websites selling auto parts often list fluid capacities in the product descriptions for transmission fluid.
* Local Auto Parts Store: Visit your local auto parts store (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or NAPA). They usually have access to databases with this information. Provide them with the year, make, model, and *transmission type*.
* Mechanic: A qualified mechanic will know the correct capacity for your Blazer's transmission. This is the most reliable method if you're unsure about any other steps.
Important Considerations:
* Never overfill the transmission. Overfilling can cause serious damage.
* Use the correct type of transmission fluid. The wrong fluid can damage the transmission. Consult your owner's manual or the resources listed above to determine the correct type. It's often specified as Dexron-compatible or a specific Dexron number (like Dexron III).
Remember, getting the transmission type right is critical to finding the correct fluid capacity. Double-check that information before proceeding with any fluid changes.
