In 2018, the Chevrolet Malibu is designed to use synthetic oil. For the 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, the recommended oil is 0W-20 and it holds 4.2 quarts. The 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine prefers SAE 5W-20 with a capacity of 5.3 quarts. The 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine requires SAE 5W-30 and can hold 5 quarts of oil. It's advisable to change your oil every 7,500 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes can help prolong your engine's life, improve gas mileage, and enhance performance by eliminating debris and sludge from the engine. Neglecting oil changes can lead to various engine problems as the oil deteriorates and becomes more abrasive over time, causing damage to essential engine components.
