2016 Silverado 1500 Fluid Capacities

Does anyone know of a location to find all the fluid capacities? I checked my manual, but it didn't have everything. My truck has low mileage, but I want to change things out before winter. Thanks.

2 gallons of oil in the motor  believe

 

any idea how much is in the radiator?

Amsoil has all the capacities listed on their site. Scroll down through each section and it lists the amount.

Excellent. Thanks.

1 more quick question on this. I know on my last 2 Silverados that I was told to avoid gear oil with a limited slip additive, is that still the case? So far, everything I've seen at the parts stores mentions an additive. I was leaning towards using Mobil 1 75w90.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't require the additive and it won't hurt the mechanical locker if you did use a fluid with it.

Mobil1 Delvac gear oil does not contain LS additive. I used 75w90 Delvac when I changed my diff oil.
