2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Hd Fluid Capacities
OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2015 (2015).
Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
6.10 OZS. (0.18 L) — PAG 46
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Trans Mfr CD 6L90-E/MYD)
10.50 QTS. (9.93 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Brake Fluid
— DOT 3 Hydraulic Brake Fluid
Differential Gear Oil
2.75 QTS. (2.6 L) — SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil
Engine Coolant (6.0L Eng,Eng CD L96)
17.20 QTS. (16.27 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Oil (6.0L Eng)
6.00 QTS. (5.67 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. Failure to use the recommended engine oil or equivalent can result in engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. Check to be sure the oil is approved to the dexos1 specification. For areas of extreme cold, where temperatures fall below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), it is recommended a SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil or a SAE 10W-30 oil. Both will provide easier cold starting and better protection for your engine at extremely low temperatures. DO NOT use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 10W-50.
Power Steering Fluid
2.00 QTS. (1.89 L) — GM Power Steering Fluid Note: GM Part No. 89021184. Approximate capacity.
Transfer Case Fluid
1.60 QTS. (1.51 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Trans Mfr CD 1000/MW7)
12.70 QTS. (12.01 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Coolant (6.6L Eng,Eng CD LML)
26.50 QTS. (25.07 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Oil (6.6L Eng)
10.00 QTS. (9.46 L) — API - SAE 15W-40 Note: Oil designated as API CJ-4 are required for the vehicle. The CJ-4 designation can appear either alone or in combination with other American Institute (API) designations, such as API CJ-4/SL. These letters show API levels of quality. DO NOT use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. When it is very cold, below 0Deg. F (-18Deg.C), you should use SAE 5W-40 to improve cold starting. Do not use other viscosity such as SAE 10W-30, SAE 10W-40, or SAE 20W-50.
Engine Coolant (6.0L Eng,Eng CD LC8)
16.30 QTS. (15.42 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
