2016 Chevrolet Traverse Fluid Capacities
OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2015-2016 (2015-2016).
Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
7.80 OZS. (0.23 L) — PAG 46
Automatic Transmission Fluid
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 5.3 to 7.4 qts. All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Brake Fluid
1.20 QTS. (1.13 L) — DOT 3 Hydraulic Brake Fluid
Differential Gear Oil
0.85 QTS. (0.8 L) — SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Gear Oil Note: GM Part No. 89021677.
Engine Coolant
11.40 QTS. (10.78 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
5.50 QTS. (5.2 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
Power Steering Fluid
1.70 QTS. (1.6 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI
Transfer Case Fluid
1.06 QTS. (1 L) — SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Gear Oil Note: GM Part No. 89021677. All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
