  • How much can my Chevrolet tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Astro towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

  • Does my Astro's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Chevrolet Astro’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Chevrolet's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Chevrolet Astro leak transmission fluid? Yes. Chevrolet Astro transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
