The Chevrolet Astro was Chevrolet's rear-wheel-drive/AWD minivan, offered with V6 power and known for a durable body-on-frame-like construction distinct from most minivans of its era. The 2005 Chevrolet Astro factory service manual documents the specific V6 engine, transmission, and AWD system for this model year.
V6 Engine and AWD Service
The Astro's V6 requires the correct oil specification and timing chain service interval documented in the factory manual. Where fitted with AWD, the transfer case and differentials require their own fluid service on a separate interval.
