★ Top Answer
A 2012 Chevy Malibu can use either SAE 5W-30 or 0W-30 engine oil, regardless of the engine you have. The 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine holds 5 quarts of oil, while the 3.6 L V6 engine takes 5.5 quarts. Both oil options are suitable, but if you frequently drive in very cold weather, consider using 0W-30 as it is thinner and flows better in low temperatures compared to 5W-30. It's essential to maintain a regular oil change schedule, generally every 5,000 miles, to ensure your car runs smoothly.
