Do you love handling oil changes for your Chevy Malibu in your Hartselle driveway? You’ll need to know the right Chevy Malibu oil type for the best results. When you use the correct Chevy Malibu oil, you’ll get the most out of your engine for many years and well over 150,000 miles.
Read on to discover all the details about the recommended Chevy Malibu oil type for Hanceville oil changes. The Mitch Smith Chevrolet, Inc. service team is happy to present this handy guide on what’s the right oil for Chevy Malibu configurations.
General Motors (GM) recommends SAE 0W-30 ACDelco dexos1 full synthetic oil as the right Chevy Malibu oil type. You should always check your owner’s manual to determine the Chevy Malibu oil type that’s right for your model, engine, and year.
We highly recommend full synthetic oil because it handles hot temperatures better, especially during hot summers in AL. SAE 0W-30 oil is best for lower temperatures in case you encounter frigid temperatures at some point in your travels.
Many drivers coming to us from Decatur wonder about synthetic versus conventional oil. Both varieties come from crude petroleum mined from the Earth. Why do we recommend full synthetic as the oil for your Chevy Malibu? It’s specially formulated, lasts longer, and provides better engine protection than conventional oil. Full synthetic oil has special additives, cleansers, and anti-oxidizers to maintain your engine in much better shape for longer periods of time.
We can install conventional motor oil for your Chevy Malibu, but your engine may not last as long and you’ll need to have more oil changes over the course of a year. Conventional oil will cost more in the long run because you’ll need more oil changes when owning your vehicle.
If you don’t change your Chevy Malibu’s oil, your pistons will warp and cause your engine to break permanently. To keep expensive breakdowns from happening, we recommend a Chevy Malibu oil change once or twice a year, or around every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, with full synthetic oil.
You’ll need an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles and three to four times a year with conventional oil, depending on how much you drive, but you’ll save more money with full synthetic even though it costs more upfront.
