The antifreeze or coolant listed for Chevy Malibu 2008 model year is Dexcool with A50/50 mixture of distilled water as stated by the manufacturer. The coolant is not used for the direct cooling of the engine, but is used to avoid the creation of rust within the coolant system and to lower the freezing temperature. The variations in the coolant ingredients are made because the engine blocks are made of different metals and require different additives to avoid the development of rust on the hose metals. As the perfect antifreeze for their engines, Dex-Cool is the antifreeze recommended by General Motors, the company that Makes Chevys. To fully recognize it, it is an orange color and an extended-life coolant, known for working up to 100,000 miles.
