Questions About 2012 GMC Savana 3500’s Transmission

About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your GMC, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my GMC Savana 3500 leak transmission fluid? Yes. GMC Savana 3500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
