★ Top Answer
The 2007 Chevy Malibu takes SAE 5w-30 synthetic oil. The four-cylinder engine needs 5 quarts, while both V6 engines need 4 quarts. Oil plays a crucial role as a lubricant for the engine parts, protects the emission system, and can improve fuel efficiency. An oil change for your Malibu typically costs between $40 and $50 for labor and $70 and $80 for parts. It's recommended to have an oil change every 7,500 miles. Signs that it's time for an oil change include increased engine noise, shaking at idle, excessive exhaust, transmission shifting problems, an oil smell in the vehicle, and if the Check Engine or Oil Change lights illuminate.
