Detailed Explanation


The 1995 Chevy 1500 is a popular full-size pickup truck that was produced by Chevrolet.

  • Locate the transmission dipstick, usually near the front of the engine compartment.

  • Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean, then reinsert it fully.

  • Remove the dipstick again and check the fluid level. It should be between the "min" and "max" marks on the dipstick.

  • If the fluid level is low, add the recommended transmission fluid in small increments until the level is correct.

  • To change the fluid, drain the old fluid by removing the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission, then refill with 4 quarts of new fluid.
