Heavy stop-and-go traffic, frequent short trips, trailer towing; they all put your engine to the supreme test and can take a toll on your transmission. Under these tough conditions, you can help your transmission run better and longer when you follow the vehicle manufacturer's severe service schedule and change the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) at the recommended intervals (typically every 15,000 to 30,000 miles).

 

Chevron offers a complete line of high-quality Automatic Transmission Fluids to meet these tough conditions. Use the general guide below to select the right ATF for your vehicle. However, always check your owner's manual for the required type of transmission fluid.
