2019 Chevrolet Express 3500 Fluid Capacities
OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2018-2019 (2018-2019).
Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
11.00 OZS. (0.32 L) — PAG 46
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Trans Mfr CD 8L90/M5U)
7.40 QTS. (7 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON HP Note: Approximate capacity.
Brake Fluid
— DOT 3 Hydraulic Brake Fluid
Differential Gear Oil
3.13 QTS. (2.96 L) — SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil Note: Rear Axle (Steerable): Synthetic Gear Oil; use ONLY GM Part No.12378557. DO NOT add Friction Modifier.
Engine Coolant (4.3L Eng)
13.10 QTS. (12.39 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 (4.3L Eng)
5.50 QTS. (5.2 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: The engine requires engine oil approved to the dexos1 specification. Oils meeting this specification can be identified with the dexos certification mark. Look for and use only an engine oil that displays the dexos certification mark of the proper viscosity grade. SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29Deg. C (-20Deg. F), an SAE 0W-30 oil should be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate viscosity grade, be sure to always select an oil that meets the required specification, dexos.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Trans Mfr CD 6L90-E/MYD)
6.00 QTS. (5.67 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Approximate capacity.
Engine Coolant (6.0L Eng,Eng CD LC8)
17.00 QTS. (16.08 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)
5.50 QTS. (5.2 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: The engine requires engine oil approved to the dexos1 specification. Oils meeting this specification can be identified with the dexos certification mark. Look for and use only an engine oil that displays the dexos certification mark of the proper viscosity grade. SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29Deg. C (-20Deg. F), an SAE 0W-30 oil should be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate viscosity grade, be sure to always select an oil that meets the required specification, dexos.
Engine Coolant (6.0L Eng,Eng CD L96)
16.20 QTS. (15.33 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 Coolant (2.8L Eng)
16.70 QTS. (15.8 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 (2.8L Eng)
6.00 QTS. (5.67 L) — SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Blend Engine Oil Note: Engine oil meeting the dexos2 specification of the proper SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos2 Synthetic Blend is recommended.
