Chevrolet recommends changing your 2004 Malibu’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Malibu in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Malibu may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Chevrolet recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Chevrolet Malibu. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
