When the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu is powered by the 1.5-liter 4Cylinder engine, it requires 4 liters (4.2 quarts) of 0W-20 oil. The 1.8-liter 4Cylinder engine needs 5 liters (5.3 quarts) of 5W-20 oil, while the 2.0-liter 4Cylinder engine requires 4.8 liters (5 quarts) of 5W-30 oil. These oils are synthetic, so they do not need to be changed every 3,000 miles as some people are accustomed to. Chevrolet recommends changing the oil every 7,500 miles, but if you live on a dirt road or have long daily commutes at low speeds, you may need to get maintenance more frequently. The average cost for an oil change in the Malibu is $100 to $120, with labor making up about $30 to $50 of that cost. Your vehicle is equipped with an oil life light on the dashboard that will illuminate when it's time to schedule an appointment for an oil change.
