Trans help needed
Hey everyone, so I just got my 2006 Monte Carlo SS 5.3L about 2 months ago. It just passed over 57,000 miles the other day and I'm pretty sure it needs a swap in trans fluid. Becuase mine is starting to smell a tad burnt. Does anyone know how many quarts of fluid the 5.3L needs and what kind I should get as well as what Filter I should get. Thanks in advance

I would recommend going to your local trans shop for a proper Filter and fluid change on your transmission...It usually runs around $75.00 but it ends up being money well spent IMO.
Dont go to an oil change place .... There just going to reverse flush the system..which usually damages the filter and transmission...

Most shops wont allow you to bring your own parts etc...
They prefer to use there own or order them from a supplier they use.
But generally around 7 quarts... I dont know an exact part number...
What state are you from?

I try to avoid the dealer at all costs.... But if you have delt with a specific dealer in the past that you trust....Then by all means...
Me personally, I prefer a Transmission shop, because thats what they do all day everyday. Like the one I use...for instance..not only do they do a fluid and filter change for me..They also scan the trans to besure everything is functioning as it should...solenoids shift points etc...
I have each of my 3 vehicles trans fluid and filters changed once a year whether it needs it or not.

Trust me I would but I don't have ramps or torque wrenches to do so, if I had the parts needed to do so it would have already been done lol
