Chevy Lube Specs
Founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1911, Chevrolet is one of the oldest and most successful automobile manufacturers in the United States. Chevrolet produces a wide range of sedans, pickup trucks, SUVs and sports cars. The lubricant specs for each model are distinct and can change from year to year. For instance, in 2010, the Aveo, Corvette, Impala and Malibu used some, but not all, of the same lubricants and fluids. Before applying any lubricants or fluids to a vehicle, it is necessary to determine the specs for the make and model of the vehicle by consulting an owners manual, a repair manual or a certified mechanic.
2010 Chevrolet Aveo
The lubricant specs are the same for all trims of the 2010 Chevrolet Aveo. For the transaxle, ESSO JWS 3309 or T-IV automatic transmission fluid is recommended for 2010 Aveos with the automatic transmission. AMSOIL SAE 75W-90 Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube or GM Manual Transmission Fluid, Part No. 12346190, is recommended for the 2010 Aveos with manual transmissions.
