In 2010, the Chevy Malibu requires 7.0 quarts of transmission fluid for 4-speed transmissions and 5.3 quarts for 6-speed transmissions. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions, including replacing the filter. Failure to stick to the scheduled transmission fluid changes can result in metal shavings and other harmful contaminants that will reduce the lifespan of the transmission. It's crucial to regularly monitor the fluid level between service intervals as running low on transmission fluid can lead to improper shifting or no shifting at all. The process of checking the transmission fluid involves pulling out the dipstick while the engine is warm and running, and the transmission is in park.
