Did the car come with an owner's manual or was that omitted at time of purchase?

The car is a beauty though Across the different 2018, Chevrolet Malibu trims 2 different oil types are used: Malibu 1.5 Ecotec Turbo Expand. Acceptable Oil Types. 0w/20. Oil Stats. Engine Code: LFV. Change Period: 12 months. Oil Capacity. 2018 Chevrolet Malibu uses synthetic oil. The 1.5L 4 -cylinder engine requires 0W-20 with a capacity of 4.2 quarts. The 1.8L 4 -cylinder engine sets SAE 5W-20 as its preferred oil and holds 5.3 quarts. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine uses SAE 5W-30 with a capacity of 5 quarts. So, what kind of oil does a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 take, and how much? For a 4.3L (262 ci) V6 you want six quarts of SAE 5W-30. For the V8s, you’ll want eight quarts of 0W-20. For a 2018 Chevy Silverado, you want to change synthetic oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Conventional oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, and you should change the filter,
too.

Do I have to use synthetic oil in my Chevy Malibu?The best type of oil for the Chevy Malibu will vary depending on the engine configuration.

While a Malibu equipped with a 2.0L engine will require 5 quarts of a 5w-30 dexos1 full synthetic oil.
Can I use 5w30 instead of 5w20 in my Chevy Malibu?In general, it is not recommended that you use 5w30 oil (or any other oil weight) in place of 5w20 oil, as the slightest difference in viscosity can potentially damage your engine.
