The recommended transmission fluid Your 2008 Chevrolet Chevy Malibu should take is DEXRON ViAutomatic Transmission Fluid. If You're curious about the capacity Your vehicle holds then it iS7 quarts for the 4T45-E, 8.5 quarts for 6T40 and 9.5 quarts for 6T70. The purpose of transmission fluid is to keep Your transmission lubricated and healthy. It also keeps or maintains the health of the metal parts inside of it as well as to regulate cooling temperatures so that nothing overheats. I would recommend to check the level of Your oil frequently so that You're not driving around with a low amount.
