08 GMC 1500 2WD Transmission Fluid Change info?

[08 GMC]

I have a 2WD Sierra 1500, 5.3 non flex fuel with about 95K on it and I think it's time to change the transmission fluid and filter.

 

What is the volume of oil that the transmission requires?

 

Does synthetic fluid make any difference/benefit???

 

Thanks

If you are dropping the pan, you will only need 5-6 qt. If you are using the cooler disconnect method, you should have 3 gallons on hand.

 

Regular and synthetic are interchangeable. Most rebuilders are using synthetic due to ability to withstand harsher conditions , but if you are nice to your tranny, regular is fine with proper maintenance.

No towing miles and the truck is stock as a rock.
