The 2002 Chevy Malibu with a 3.1L V6 engine requires 4.5 quarts of SAE 5W-30 oil. It is advised to use synthetic oil for better engine protection, as it has superior lubricating properties and lasts longer than conventional oil. With synthetic oil, you should only need to change it every 7,500 miles, compared to 3,500 to 5,000 miles with conventional oil. I highly recommend checking your oil monthly to ensure it is at the correct level, clean, and free from any contaminants that could potentially damage your engine.
