Run the oil for at least 1k miles, get your free oil change and then go pennzoil platinum/ultra 5w30. Just run synthetic by 10k miles and rest easy.
Nice car

I have the same engine, right now I'm on free oil changes - my dealer changes it at 20%. After the freebies are done I think I am going to go SuperTech Syn (supposedly now Dexos approved) with a Wix filter.
20% has averaged 5500 miles on the OLM so I'll probably stick to that.

2013 ATS, only 14k miles. Nothing exciting to report...I like the 2.5, I've found it to be smooth and quiet. I like it a lot.

I wonder why they specify 5W-20 for the Malibu and then specify 0W-20 for the Silverado. . .

My guess is truck MPG is a huge competition right now,
Thin oil in a truck would be more mpg than thin oil in the car

Nice Car!!! I'm looking at them too right now, I have the brochure with me as I write. I think the ones we get here are very similar to yours. All part of the GM global car concept.
We get the 2.4-litre petrol engine that comes from the GM plant in Bupyeong, South Korea, while the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel is an Opel engine (used in the Insignia) and comes from Kaiserslautern, Germany. You seem to get a slightly bigger engIne, we also get a slightly different suspension tune.
I like the petrol engine and I would run valvoline SynPower DX1 5W30 that's rated API SN/CF, GF-5, GM DEXOS 1, Ford WSS M2C946A & M2C929A, MS-6395 etc
Did you get the LED tail lights? Makes it look a bit like a camaro from behind.

What does GM in Australia specify for a viscosity grade ?

Did you get deep discount for it ?
The completely restyled 2016 Malibu is longer and 300 lbs lighter, with more interior space and improved fuel efficiency. I like this redesign 2016 body.
