2009 Chevrolet Malibu Oil Capacity

The 2009 Chevrolet Malibu takes 5.0 qt of 5W-30 oil with the LE5 or LE9 engine, and 5.5 qt of 5W-30 with the LY7 engine. These capacities are the listed oil amounts for the engine options shown; check your vehicle’s engine code to use the matching figure.

The listed facts give the same capacity and oil grade for both LE5 and LE9, while the LY7 has a higher listed capacity and uses the same 5W-30 grade. The LE9 entry appears twice with identical figures, so it does not indicate a different capacity. These figures apply to the listed 2009 engines and may not carry over to other model years or trims.

If your engine or required oil specification is not shown here, confirm the correct capacity and grade on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
