The 2009 Chevy Malibu needs Dexron transmission fluid, which should be replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. When the transmission fluid is not changed, you may start to hear strange noises coming from the transmission. The old fluid can create unpleasant sounds. A worn-out torque converter can lead to headaches. The transmission plays a crucial role in the vehicle, and problems are bound to arise eventually. Delayed gear shifting can cause acceleration problems, potential slipping, shuddering, harsh shifts, jerking, or gears getting stuck. It is important to promptly address any transmission fluid leaks.

    My car manual doesn't specify the exact amount of transmission oil needed. When I asked the dealer, they mentioned it could be around 5 or 6 quarts. I ended up putting in 6 quarts, but without a dipstick to check the level, I'm unsure if it's sufficient. Can anyone advise me on the correct transmission oil capacity for my car with a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine?
