1995 Chevy Astro Van transmission fluid level? How many quarts should be in there with a 4.3 engine?

7 is ravager

Should take between 4 and 6 quarts of fluid. I would use dex 6. All upgrades in fluid will work on older transmissions.

Most car oil capacity is 4 quarts tops after around 1979 or so. Can't remember the exact year they went from 5 quarts to 4 quarts. Check the car manual for this. :-)

Depends on your engine.

If you have your owners manual, there is a section containing the capacities for all fluids. You may also simply check your fluid level, with a running motor and warm transmission. If the stick indicates add, start with a 1/4 quart and work your way up. Unless there is a problem with the trans, there is no real reason to ever add fluid unless your are flushing the transmission.

Automatic transmission fluid is added at the dipstick tube. Remove dipstick from tube, wipe and reinsert while engine hot and running at idle, park or nutral ok. Add 1/4 quart at a time in same tube untill fluid level is at full mark. Do not mistake engine oil dip stick for transmission stick.

To check fluid level, transmission should be hot and engine running at idle. Pull the transmission dip stick out "red" wipe clean and re-insert. Check level of transmission fluid as indicated on the dip stick using the second reading and make sure the Astro is parked on leveled ground. Add Dexron III or VI as needed and do not over fill.
Thank you for using Fixya and good luck

just dropping the pan? 4.5-5.5 Should be right around 5 quarts

Complete overhaul? 10-11 quarts
