The 2015 Chevy Malibu requires 4.7 liters (5.0 quarts) of SAE 5W-20 engine oil for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. This synthetic oil is designed to protect the engine from damage caused by corrosion, friction, and overheating. Your Malibu comes with an oil life indicator that lights up on the dashboard when it's time for an oil change. Remember to reset this light after changing the oil. Chevy suggests changing the oil every 7,500 miles, but if you drive in dusty conditions or take short, slow trips, you might need to do it more frequently. On average, it costs between $110 and $150 to get the oil changed in a 2015 Malibu, with labor accounting for about $50. If you're looking to save money, consider doing the oil change yourself.
