What type of transmission fluid goes in a Chevy Malibu?

The type of transmission fluid for a Chevy Malibu depends entirely on the year and the type of transmission it has (automatic or manual). There is no single answer.

To find the correct fluid, you must check your owner's manual. The manual will specify the exact type of fluid recommended by the manufacturer for your specific Malibu model and year. Using the wrong fluid can severely damage your transmission.

You can also usually find this information on a sticker under the hood, often near the radiator or the engine oil filler cap. However, the owner's manual is the definitive source.
