The 2014 Chevy Malibu comes with dex-cool antifreeze when it leaves the factory. This is the specific coolant that Chevrolet and authorized dealerships will use when topping off or changing the coolant in your vehicle. If you have your car serviced at an independent repair shop, I suggest confirming that they also use this coolant before adding more yourself. It's important not to mix different types of coolant as it can cause damage to your cooling system. Mixing chemicals can create corrosion, leading to a loss of cooling efficiency. If you are unsure about the type of coolant in your car, consider topping it off with distilled water. While distilled water may slightly reduce the cooling capacity, it will not cause any harm to the system.
