2006 Chevrolet Malibu Oil Capacity

The 2006 Chevrolet Malibu takes 5.0 qt of 5W-30 oil with the L61 engine, or 4.0 qt of 5W-30 with either the LZ4 or LZ9 engine. Check the engine designation for your vehicle before using the capacity listed here, because the amount changes by engine even within the same model year.

Read each entry as the listed engine, oil capacity in quarts, and recommended oil grade. The figures apply to the engines identified in the facts for this model year; they do not establish a capacity for other engines or model years. If your engine is not listed, or you need a figure not shown here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
