Additional Notes

  • The rear differential capacity of 1.4–1.5 liters applies uniformly across the 2.5-liter and 3.6 V6 configurations, both in two-wheel-drive and AWD variants, for the 2018-2022 model years.
  • A capacity expressed as a range rather than a fixed value typically reflects variation between a drain-and-refill service fill and a full overhaul or dry fill, where the lower figure represents a partial refill after fluid drain and the upper figure accounts for a completely empty housing.
  • The front differential on the Chevrolet Colorado 2.5 AWD (2018-2022) holds 0.9–1.3 liters, while the front differential on the 3.6 V6 AWD variant holds a slightly narrower range of 1.0–1.3 liters, indicating a modest difference in front axle housing volume between the two engine configurations.
  • All six configurations share a 7,500-mile check interval applied under normal use conditions, meaning the interval is associated with standard on-road driving rather than severe-duty cycles such as towing, off-road use, or extreme temperature operation.
  • The front differential capacity range on the 2.5 AWD (0.9–1.3 liters) is wider than the corresponding range on the 3.6 V6 AWD (1.0–1.3 liters), which narrows the lower bound by 0.1 liter while sharing the same upper limit.
  • Two-wheel-drive variants of the 2.5 and 3.6 V6 carry only a rear differential entry, as no front differential is present in a non-AWD drivetrain configuration.
