The optimal operating temperature for a Chevrolet Captiva automatic transmission is 82-96°C (180-205°F).
Note:
* It is acceptable to increase the automatic transmission temperature to 105-115°C (221-239°F) for a short time during intensive use (for example, when towing).
*Continuous operation of the automatic transmission at temperatures above 115°C (239°F) may result in premature failure.
*If the transmission temperature exceeds 121°C (250°F), the transmission will go into limp mode to protect against damage.
