The 2011 Chevy Equinox requires between 4.2 and 6.3 quarts of Dexron VI synthetic transmission fluid. It’s important to use the specified type and quantity of transmission fluid to ensure proper lubrication and performance of the transmission system. Neglecting to change the transmission fluid at the recommended intervals can lead to wear and tear on the transmission components, causing improper shifting and potential damage. It’s also crucial to regularly check the transmission fluid level between service intervals to prevent the transmission from running low on fluid, which can lead to shifting issues or even complete failure.

What happens if you use the wrong transmission fluid?
Immediately after putting the wrong transmission fluid in your vehicle, you can start noticing issues while driving. In most cases, people notice strange noises, overheating, and slipping gears. Do not ignore these warning signs, because they will not go away on their own.
Does it matter what transmission fluid I use?
The type of transmission fluid you should use depends upon the make, model and year of your vehicle. For example, many General Motor cars will require a DEXRON fluid and Ford cars commonly specify a MERCON fluid. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer recommendation for proper fluid use and change interval.
