2001 Chevrolet Malibu Oil Capacity

The 2001 Chevrolet Malibu with the LG8 engine has an oil capacity of 4.5 qt and uses 5W-30 engine oil. This capacity is the listed amount for the engine identified in the facts; it should not be assumed to apply to other Malibu engines or model years.

Read the capacity and oil grade as separate details: 4.5 qt is the listed capacity, while 5W-30 is the specified oil viscosity. The facts identify only the LG8 engine and do not state whether the capacity includes an oil filter change or provide a separate refill amount. If you need that distinction, or if your vehicle’s engine or configuration differs, confirm the correct figure and grade on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
