To find the correct replacement, you need to look up the specifications of the 41-940 (heat range, thread size, reach, etc.) or, more reliably, use your 1998 Chevrolet Malibu's VIN number to look up the correct spark plugs at a reputable auto parts store's website (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or NAPA Auto Parts). They will have databases that will give you the proper current replacement.
Simply searching for "1998 Chevrolet Malibu 3.1L V6 spark plugs" on their websites will usually also yield the correct results. Don't rely solely on generic cross-reference sites, as they are not always accurate.
