2002 Chevrolet Malibu Engine

The 2002 Chevrolet Malibu engine listing identifies the LG8. The available facts name the engine code but do not provide its displacement, cylinder count, output, fuel economy, or other ratings. Those figures should not be inferred from the code or from information for another Malibu model year.

Use the listing to identify the engine associated with this model year, rather than as a complete set of specifications. Equipment and ratings can vary by year or trim, and the available facts do not describe those variations for the 2002 Malibu. For a figure not shown here, confirm it on the vehicle’s door jamb or in the owner’s manual.

If you are checking a specific car, verify which engine it has before applying specifications from another version. The facts supplied for this page list only the LG8, so confirm any additional engine details in the owner’s manual or on the door-jamb label.
