Default Fluid Capacities

Anyone have a quick list/breakdown of the fluid capacities? Seeing conflicting information from the beast, that is known as the internet.

All fluid capacities are listed in the OM, check your OM.

Bill, dropped the car off for paint correction and ppf - left the manual in the car. Googled it, but the capacities page only shows engine oil, coolant, fuel tank size, engine firing order, etc..
I keep looking, but am not seeing it: https://my.chevrolet.com/content/dam...te1stPrint.pdf

Look up in the C7 General / Sticky Threads / Manuals, reference material, etc for links to the OM.

Thanks RonC7, looks like the 2015 link in the location you mentioned, also points to the one I found via google. Looked at the 2016 manual, didn't seem
to have anymore capacity details than the 2015. Same as 2017. Sadly they all three just list bare minimum of common serviced fluids. Apologize in advance
if I've overlooked the data in those manuals.

This appears unchanged in the 2019 manual as well. Whether you use their products or not, the Amsoil site lists more fluid capacity details that should be close enough for purchasing purposes.

From memory:
Oil 9.8qts with filter 5 30 or 0 40esp full synthetic (PF64 filter). I put in 9.5 qts for a perfect level
Rear Dif: Some say 3qts. My personal experience changing it 3 times on my z51 and a z06, buy 4 qts, takes about 3.3ish
Trans was about 5qts on my M7, not sure A8 capacities. Measure and fill in what you take out.
Past this, I'm drawing a blank

Since you didn't mention which capacities you were looking for I took some pictures of the Service Manual General Information. Hopefully, these are all of the capacities you are looking for along with the recommended maintenance parts/fluids.





These were taken from a 2015 FSM so don't include the 2019 recommended engine oil M1 Dexos2 ESP 0W40 which is part number 19370233.

The RPOs are listed with each capacity so it only takes a quick look at the RPO sticker to tell. There are different versions of M7 depending on which car you have. Standard, Z51 and Z06. My Z06 has MEK listed on it's RPO sticker.

Thanks Bill. Either way I still need to fill it until it drips out of the filler port. Just wanted to know how much oil to get because I need to order it in.
