Additional Notes

  • The Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 3.5 V6 carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 6.6 liters, a figure that reflects a total system fill rather than a partial drain-and-refill service quantity.
  • The Malibu Maxx SS 3.9 V6 holds a slightly larger automatic transaxle capacity of 7 liters, representing a 0.4-liter increase over the 3.5 V6 configuration across both normal and severe use conditions.
  • Both engine configurations share an annual 12-month fluid check interval regardless of whether the vehicle is operated under normal or severe use conditions.
  • Under severe use conditions, both the 3.5 V6 and the 3.9 V6 SS carry an 80,000 km fluid change interval for the automatic transaxle, a threshold that applies specifically to the more demanding operating classification.
  • The 3.5 V6 spans the full 2004-2007 model year range, while the SS trim with the 3.9 V6 entered the lineup in 2006, meaning the two configurations coexisted only during the 2006-2007 period.
  • No fluid change interval appears in the normal use rows for either configuration, with only the 12-month check interval specified under those conditions.
