The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu comes with either a 6 or 8-speed automatic transmission, and both require the use of DEXRON-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid. Many different brands offer compatible versions of this fluid for you to choose from. Valvoline, for instance, offers a high-quality synthetic version that is suitable for use. Your owner's manual's maintenance guidelines recommend changing the fluid every 45,000 miles. If you find yourself needing to replace the fluid more often, it is possible that there is a leak in your system, and you should take your vehicle to a dealership at your earliest convenience.
