The 2005 Chevy Malibu should only be filled with Dexron III full synthetic transmission fluid as per Chevrolet's recommendations to protect your transmission gears. Avoid mixing different transmission fluid types, as it can reduce the fluid's effectiveness and lead to gear wear. It is advisable to inspect the fluid levels for fullness and cleanliness each time you change your oil. If the fluid appears metallic or shiny, it signals potential gear issues, requiring a transmission flush and gear inspection for significant damages.
