Not sure how or where to get your Chevrolet Malibu’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Chevrolet recommends having your 2021 Chevrolet Malibu’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Chevrolet-recommended oil change intervals, your Malibu may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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 terrain, 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.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2021 Chevrolet Malibu motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Chevrolet has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2021 Malibu. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Malibu's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Malibu by taking into account your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
