In the 2014 Chevy Malibu, the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission that requires 6.3 quarts of Dexron VI ATF fluid. It is recommended to have a transmission flush and filter change every 30,000-50,000 miles to prevent issues such as hesitation, slipping between gears, idle surges, reduced speed capability, and potential problems like getting stuck in park or failing to engage. Symptoms of low fluid levels may include burning smells, leaks, and unusual noises like clunking, grinding, or humming. Consistent maintenance can help prolong the transmission's lifespan. The average cost for a fluid flush, fill, and filter change is around $170-$190, with expenses split evenly between materials and labor.
