Transmission fill question
I spilled a lot of tranny fluid when I did a cam swap today. What kind of fluid is in the c6? I want to top off what is already in the car. Is it a special GM fluid? It was green. Also, do you just fill it until the fluid comes out the fill hole when the car is level?
Thanks in advance.

sorry, of top of my head i think it is 3 for the manual and 4 for the auto, the manual can verified this. is your car auto or manual? if it is manual, and you want syn fluid in mobil there is only one choice. not sure why GM would call for a non syn fluid for the tranny.

GM is now using Dexron 6 a semi-synthetic transmission fluid.
