2005 Chevrolet Malibu Oil Capacity

The 2005 Chevrolet Malibu’s listed engine-oil capacity is 5.0 qt for the L61 engine and 4.0 qt for the LZ4 engine. Both use 5W-30 oil. Check the engine designation before using a capacity, because the listed amount changes by engine rather than applying to every Malibu.

Read each capacity as the listed oil amount for that engine, not as a universal figure for the vehicle. The figures identify the engine-specific amounts and the shared oil grade; they do not specify whether the amount includes a filter change. If you need a capacity or service detail that is not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
