Owners of the 2012 Chevy Malibu have found that they can extend the lifespan of their vehicles to around 250,000 miles, with an average range of 160,000 to 200,000 miles. These cars are quite dependable. To reach the 200,000-mile mark, it is essential to keep up with regular maintenance. This includes changing the engine oil every 7,500 miles and the transmission fluid every 60,000 miles. Additionally, scheduling a tune-up every 12 to 18 months is crucial. For those with a warranty, it's important to attend all scheduled appointments.

So, be cautious when considering buying a salvaged vehicle.

Regular maintenance is essential for vehicle longevity. I follow a schedule of changing the oil every 3,000 miles using Mobile 1 full synthetic, replacing the transmission oil every 12,000 to 15,000 miles with full synthetic Dexron VI, and adding MMO every other fill-up. Additionally, I change the coolant every 65,000 miles and maintain other components as recommended in the owner's manual. Safe driving is crucial both on the road and highway. My 2012 Chevy Malibu lasted over 230,000 miles before a truck collision resulted in a total loss of my vehicle.
