Your Malibu’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Chevrolet, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Malibu and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Chevrolet's recommendations.
