For the 2002 Chevrolet Malibu, it is recommended to use Dex-cool antifreeze at a 50/50 strength, with a capacity of 13.7 quarts for the initial fill. Dex-cool is an antifreeze utilizing organic acid technology, believed to prolong the vehicle's lifespan. Antifreeze should be changed every 30,000 miles. The price of antifreeze ranges from $11 to $18 per gallon, and it typically takes about 3.4 gallons to completely fill the Malibu, costing approximately $37 to $61. If you opt for a mechanic to change the antifreeze, labor costs can be anywhere from $140 to $180.
The type of antifreeze you need for a 2002 Chevy Malibu is the Peak OET Antifreeze/Engine Coolant NAOB53.
