Transmission Fluid Capacity of a 2008 Chevy Cobalt
The 2008 Chevy Cobalt has a transmission fluid capacity of approximately 12.9 quarts when the transmission is dry. However, when only removing the lower pan, it typically requires around 7 quarts of transmission fluid. It’s important to note that more fluid may drain out during the process, so it’s recommended to add fluid until it flows from the hole to ensure it is full.
Please keep in mind that it’s always a good idea to consult your Chevrolet Owner’s Manual for specific information regarding your vehicle’s transmission fluid capacity and maintenance requirements.
