2020 Chevrolet Malibu Oil Capacity

The 2020 Chevrolet Malibu’s engine oil capacity and recommended viscosity depend on which engine it has. The LFV 1.5L Turbo takes 4.2 qt of 0W-20 oil, while the LTG 2.0 L Turbo takes 5.0 qt of 5W-30 oil. Use the listing that matches your engine rather than treating one capacity or oil grade as applicable to every Malibu.

Capacity is the listed amount of engine oil, and viscosity is the oil grade to use. These figures differ by engine: the 1.5L Turbo and 2.0 L Turbo have different capacities and recommended viscosities. The facts provided cover these two engine options for this model year; they do not give a separate figure by trim.

Check the vehicle’s engine identification before choosing a figure. If your engine or required oil amount is not listed here, confirm the correct information on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
