How much transmission fluid does it take to fill the on a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu?

The 1998 Chevrolet Malibu's transmission fluid capacity depends on the type of transmission it has. There were different transmissions used in that model year. You cannot determine the correct amount without knowing which transmission is installed in your specific car.

To find out, you need to:

1. Check your owner's manual: This is the best source of information. The manual will specify the capacity for your particular transmission.

2. Look at a sticker on the car: Sometimes a sticker under the hood (or elsewhere) will list the transmission type and fluid capacity.

3. Check the transmission itself: The transmission may have a tag identifying the type.

4. Check online resources: Websites like the Chevrolet website or parts websites might list the transmission fluid capacity based on the VIN number (Vehicle Identification Number) of your car. However, using the owner's manual is always preferable.

Without knowing the transmission type, giving you a fluid capacity is inaccurate and could lead to overfilling or underfilling, potentially damaging your transmission.
