2002 Chevrolet Malibu Oil Capacity

The 2002 Chevrolet Malibu with the LG8 engine has an oil capacity of 4.5 qt and uses 5W-30 oil. These figures describe the listed engine configuration; they are not a universal specification for every Malibu engine or trim.

Read the capacity as the amount listed for the LG8, and the oil grade as the recommended viscosity for that configuration. Capacity can vary with engine, so do not apply this figure to a different engine. The facts provided do not specify whether the capacity includes the oil filter or give a separate fill amount for an oil change.

If your car’s engine or configuration is uncertain, confirm the oil capacity and grade on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
