2018 Chevrolet Malibu Oil Capacity

The 2018 Chevrolet Malibu’s oil capacity and recommended oil grade depend on the engine. The LFV 1.5L Turbo takes 4.2 qt of 0W-20, while the LTG 2.0 L Turbo takes 5.0 qt of 5W-30. Match the listing to the engine in your Malibu before using a capacity or selecting oil.

These figures are engine-specific, so the capacity and oil grade change between the two turbo engines listed for this year. The capacity is the amount associated with the listed engine; check the oil level after service and follow the vehicle’s prescribed procedure rather than relying on the capacity alone. If your engine or required oil grade is not identified here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
