The engine sizes the 2010 Chevy Malibu has are 2.4 L 4Cylinder and 3.6 L V6. You will come into many issues with an engine. A gasket may be loose and that needs to be tightened up quickly. You can have oil leaks and those need to be fixed as soon as possible. A spark plug may pop off, causing engine trouble. A dire problem is the engine overheating. This may lead to car fires and the vehicle exploding. There could be excessive oil use, requiring the oil to be changed quickly Your air filter needs to be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. The coolant needs to be changed every 60,000 miles. The spark plugs need to be changed every 100,000 miles or so unless it's a copper one. A cooper spark plug needs to be changed every 30,000 miles or so.
U sound like an autozone mechanic.. On his first day trying to explain to a customer how somethings work he read out of a magazine... That u didn't read entirely... However you are correct about engine sizes and specs for this car... I have worked on every kind of engine make and style v6 v8every style 4 cylinder... From a 1985 to current. And I'm completely puzzled when you say spark plugs pop off.. I have seen them seized up from getting extremely too hot and I've seen people break them off trying to get them out but I have never just seen a spark plug pop off of an engine and have never seen an automobile catch fire from an engine overheating I can see this being possible in a crash or if a fuel line failed.. But I'm not just trying to downplay anybody but people reading things like this is what makes my wife think she knows what she's talking about when she sounds ridiculous it's not good knowledge or they need to be explained with a little more detail... I can hear her now call me while I'm at work telling me her spark plug popped off making her engine catch fire cuz she could smell something.. Lol
The 2010 Chevy Malibu come with either an Ecotec, 2.4L 4-cylinder engine making 169 horsepower, or a 3.6L V6 engine putting out 252 horsepower. There is a 3.5L V6 engine available, but it is only found used for Chevrolet's Fleet buyers (think Avis or Budget), and is generally not sold to the average consumer.
