1999 Chevrolet Malibu Oil Capacity

The 1999 Chevrolet Malibu takes 4.0 qt of 5W-30 oil with the L82 or LD9 engine, and 4.5 qt of 5W-30 with the LG8 engine. The listed capacity changes by engine, so identify the engine fitted to your Malibu before using the figure. These are the capacities provided for the listed engine codes; the oil grade is 5W-30 for all three.

Read the capacity in quarts and match it to the engine code, rather than treating one figure as correct for every 1999 Malibu. If you cannot confirm which engine is installed, or need a figure that is not listed here, check the vehicle’s door jamb or owner’s manual.
