Transmission and Differential Fluids
Hi Guys,
I need some help figuring this out. I have 2011 2LT (auto) and i would like to change the Transmission and Differential Fluids Does anyone know any good brands of these fluids to purchase? Also how much is needed for both? I found a DYI for the Differential for the car but could not find one for the transmission, does anyone have any guides or instructions or videos for this aswell? I am looking to change it this weekend so any help would be appreciated And i apologize if this was asked before but i did try the search feature few times, i could not locate any threads that had all the info i needed. Thank You -Vin |

diff fluid, you'll need a little over 1 qt. so buy 2. not sure about the trans fluid for the auto.
also, I recommend royal purple.

Here's a good post that will get you started- http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...smission+fliud
+1 on the Royal Purple. I thought that stuff was just a gimmick, but after trying many brands in my manual trans I found out it works! Figure their auto stuff is good too! |

I just made a purchase from Andy @ AMSOIL, nice very knowledgeable guy and great price if you PM him. Their site has a complete list of all fluids and quantity for our Camaro's.
