Chevrolet Traverse Transmission Fluid Type and Capacity
The inspected 2015 and 2018 Chevrolet Traverse LS, FWD Fluids tables list DEXRON VI automatic transmission fluid. They give different approximate capacities for drain-and-refill, overhaul, and valve-body-cover removal; those contexts should not be combined into one refill amount.
These are examples from two specific manual selections, not verified specifications for every Traverse year, engine, drivetrain, or transmission. The fluid tables do not identify a transmission code or engine in the capacity rows. Confirm your vehicle and open its exact procedure before servicing or ordering fluid.
Quick answer
Both inspected manual tables list DEXRON VI. For a 2015 LS FWD manual example, the drain-and-refill entry is approximately 4.2–6.3 qt; for a 2018 LS FWD example, it is approximately 5.3–6.3 qt. These are manual table ranges, not a promise that the same quantity should be poured into every vehicle.
The 2015 table’s 5.3–7.4 qt entry is specifically labeled “Valve Body Cover Removal.” The 2018 table’s 2.1–3.2 qt entry has that same label. Neither is the drain-and-refill entry.

Before buying fluid or starting service
- Match your year, engine, drivetrain, and transmission to the vehicle and manual selection.
- Open that vehicle’s Fluids table and transmission service procedure; capacity labels describe different service contexts.
- Use the specified level-check procedure. The inspected tables call their capacities approximate and say to recheck the fluid level after filling.
