The type of antifreeze that should be used in the 2002 Chevrolet Malibu is Dex-cool and the recommended strength iS50/50. The capacity for the vehicle is 13.7 quarts for the initial fill. Dex-cool is a type of anti-freeze that uses organic acid technology and the claims are that it can extend the life of the vehicle. You should change the anti-freeze every 30,000 miles or so. The cost of anti-freeze is around $11 to $18 per gallon. It would take around 3.4 gallons to fully fill up the Malibu and that would cost around $37 to $61. The cost of getting the anti-freeze changed if taken to a mechanic is anywhere from $140 to $180 in just labor costs.
