The Chevy Equinox made in 2005 holds around 4.25 quarts of transmission fluid. The fluid is essential for keeping the automatic or manual transmission running smoothly by cooling and lubricating it. In automatic transmissions, the fluid also acts as a viscous substance that helps transfer power from the engine. If the transmission fluid gets too hot, a warning light will appear on the dashboard. A burnt smell, either sweet or tart, could signal low fluid levels or a lack of lubrication in the transmission components. Transmission fluid should be changed periodically, typically lasting between 30,000 and 60,000 miles but possibly as soon as 15,000 miles for heavily used vehicles.
