All fluids listed are synthetic, so they don't require the typical 3,000-mile oil change like some people are used to. Chevrolet recommends replacing it every 7,500 miles, but if You live on a dirt road or have long daily commutes at low speeds, You might need maintenance appointments more often. The average cost to have this fluid changed in the Malibu is $100 to $120. Labor counts for about $30 to $50 of that expense. Your vehicle is equipped with an oil life light that will illuminated on the dash to let You know when it's time to schedule an appointment.
