For your 2008 Chevrolet Chevy Malibu, the manufacturer recommends using DEXRON VI Automatic Transmission Fluid. If you're wondering about the fluid capacity for your vehicle, it's 7 quarts for the 4T45-E, 8.5 quarts for the 6T40, and 9.5 quarts for the 6T70 transmissions. Transmission fluid is essential for lubricating and maintaining the health of your transmission, as well as regulating temperatures to prevent overheating. It's advisable to regularly check your fluid levels to ensure you're not running low.
