What kind of transmission fluid does a 1995 Chevy S10 take?

Detailed Transmission Fluid Specifications for a 1995 Chevy S10


The 1995 Chevy S10 was available with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. For the automatic transmission model, the recommended transmission fluid is Dexron II or Dexron III. These are General Motors-approved fluids that meet the performance requirements for the 4L60-E automatic transmission used in the S10.


It's important to use the correct transmission fluid, as using the wrong type can lead to transmission problems over time. The 4L60-E transmission is a robust unit, but it requires the proper Dexron II or Dexron III fluid to function properly and last.


Changing the Transmission Fluid


Chevrolet recommends changing the transmission fluid in a 1995 S10 every 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first. This helps ensure the transmission continues to operate smoothly and the fluid maintains its lubricating properties.



  • Use only Dexron II or Dexron III automatic transmission fluid

  • Check the fluid level regularly and top up as needed

  • Avoid mixing different types of transmission fluid

  • Consult your owner's manual for the proper fluid change procedure


Proper maintenance of the transmission fluid is crucial for the long-term health and performance of the 4L60-E automatic transmission in a 1995 Chevy S10 pickup.
