Chevrolet Camaro Transmission Fluid: Change Interval
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-02
When to change the transmission fluid on a 2016-2024 (6th gen) Chevrolet Camaro.
In short: Chevrolet Camaro transmission fluid: Auto: severe service ~45,000 mi.
| Transmission Fluid interval | Auto: severe service ~45,000 mi |
|---|---|
| Engine / drivetrain | 2.0L turbo (LTG), 3.6L V6 (LGX), or 6.2L V8 (LT1); 0W-20 dexos1 (LT1 V8 = 0W-40 dexosR); 8-speed auto or 6-speed manual |
| Model years | 2016-2024 (6th gen) |
Why it matters: Transmission fluid lubricates and cools the gearbox. "Lifetime fill" really means "lifetime of the warranty" — heat from towing, hills and stop-and-go traffic ages it much faster.
A drain-and-fill (not a flush) is the safe approach, especially on higher-mileage cars. Use ONLY the exact fluid spec for your transmission — the wrong fluid can ruin a CVT or automatic.
Chevrolet Camaro note: Watch the oil grade: the 6.2L LT1 V8 (SS/ZL1) is factory-filled with 0W-40 dexosR (~10 qt), NOT the 0W-20 the 2.0T/V6 use — don't put the light oil in the V8. (6th gen, ended 2024.)
FAQ

Auto: severe service ~45,000 mi.
Should I flush or drain-and-fill the transmission on a Chevrolet Camaro?
Prefer a drain-and-fill. A pressure flush on an old, never-serviced transmission can dislodge debris; a simple drain-and-fill (repeated if needed) is the gentler, widely recommended option.
