★ Top Answer
It is recommended to use 5W-30 Synthetic oil in a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Classic, or 10W-30 in temperatures above 0 F. The vehicle requires 5 quarts of oil with a filter, and the drain plug should be torqued to 18 ft/lbs. Synthetic oil is man-made and has fewer impurities compared to conventional oil. It plays a crucial role in maintaining engine cleanliness and lubricating engine parts to reduce wear and friction. However, oil needs to be changed periodically, typically every 7,500 to 10,000 miles in order to keep the engine running smoothly.
