The Chevy Avalanche can have different types of transmissions, including the 4l60e, 4l80e, or 6l80 transmission. The type of transmission fluid it requires depends on the specific transmission model. For these transmissions, the recommended transmission fluid options are Dexron 3 or Dexron 6. The great thing about Dexron transmission fluid is that you can use Dex VI in older GM transmissions that call for Dex III.
Please note that the fluid capacity of your Chevrolet Avalanche depends on the specific automatic transmission you have. It is always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or contact a certified mechanic for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the fluid capacity and type for your specific vehicle.
