The 2016 Chevy Trax comes with a 1.4 liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission that requires 4.2 quarts of Dexron VI ATF fluid. It's recommended to have a transmission flush and filter change every 30,000-50,000 miles to prevent issues such as hesitation, slipping between gears, surging at idle, and reduced speed capability, sometimes dropping below 30 mph. If the transmission starts failing, the vehicle may have trouble shifting out of park or engaging properly. Symptoms of low fluid levels include burning smells, leaks, and unusual noises like clunking, grinding, or "humming." Regular maintenance can prolong the lifespan of the transmission, with service costs typically averaging between $100 and $120 for parts and labor. However, if the transmission needs replacing, the total cost can range from $4,100 to $4,500 including parts and labor.
The amount of transmission fluid needed for a 2016 Chevy Trax is 3.5 quarts.
