Well the Malibu hit 45k yesterday and i follow the severe service schedule for the Malibu just because the way i drive. One the list of the 45k services is says, cabin filter, air filter, trans drain and fill, brake fluid flush, and check oil and fluids. OLM is at 27% with a lil over 5k on the PPPP 0w20. Plan on doing all these services at the next oil change which would prob b within 1K. Now i need to decide what products to use for what....
I went to Walmart tonight to looks at oil and i saw PPPP 0w20 that has new new sticker on it tht says "redesigned for modern turbo engines" mine aint turbocharged but it is GDI. i also saw ST has full syn on the shelf now tht is 0w20 and dexos1 gen2 certified. $15.88 for ST and $22.88 for PPPP. Ive had good results with PPPP but think ST is worth a try?
Now on to the transmission drain and fill... i did a drain and fill of about 4.5Q at 25k with autozone brand dex6 i got for $3Q. Walmart is now selling maxlife atf agin for $17.88 or Amazon had acdelco dex6 for $26.
Now the cabin and air filters i can get for $37 off Amazon and brake flush i can do at work on the lift.
What fluids should inuse for the trans and oil? Also im using up.my last napa gold oil filter next oil change.
