The best oil to use in a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu is AC Delco synthetic blend engine oil. The 2.0L L4 engine uses viscosity of SAE 5W-30 and the 2.5L uses SAE 5W-20 or SAE 0W-20. An alternative oil may be used if it meets dexos1 certifications and has the same viscosity. Both engines can hold 5 quarts of oil with the filter. The Malibu is equipped with the engine oil life system, that monitors various aspects of the engine to determine when an oil change is needed. When the computer detects that these requirements are met, a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will be displayed. If the system ever malfunctions or is accidentally reset a good rule of thumb is to have the oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
