2018 Chevrolet Traverse Fluid Capacities
OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2018 (2018).
Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
7.08 OZS. (0.2 L) — PAG 46
Automatic Transmission Fluid
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 2.1 - 3.2 qts.
Brake Fluid
1.20 QTS. (1.13 L) — DOT 3 Hydraulic Brake Fluid
Differential Gear Oil
0.79 QTS. (0.74 L) — DEXRON LS Hypoid Fluid
Engine Coolant (3.6L Eng)
15.50 QTS. (14.66 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 (3.6L Eng)
6.00 QTS. (5.67 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.
Transfer Case Fluid
0.90 QTS. (0.85 L) — SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Axle Gear Oil Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Coolant (2.0L Eng)
11.70 QTS. (11.07 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 (2.0L Eng)
5.00 QTS. (4.73 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.
