You can check oil level of your 2004 Chevrolet Malibu as described below.
If the engine is the 2.2L Ecotec 4 cylinder engine it uses a canister
filter (Fram # PH9018 I believe) under a black cap that is located on
top of the engine on the front driver side. If you have a plastic ecotec
cover on the engine you will need to remove it by pulling on it to
release the clips. You should then see the cap in the described
location. Use a 1 1/4" wrench/ratchet to remove the cap. (pull off the
cap off before you replace the oil plug otherwise you won't remove a lot
of the oil). Pull the old filter off the cap and clip the new one on
and replace the gasket on the cap. Put new oil on the gasket and screw
the cap back into the engine. Then put the oil plug back in the engine.
Then add oil.
Warm up car LEAve running,MOVE shifter thruogh all gear selections.Check fluid by wiping off dipstick with clean rag,reinsert dipstick,wait a few seconds before withdrawing dipstick.withdrawl dipstick & check level ,smell dipstick if it smells burntreplace fluid & service trans with new fluid & filter Also if you see any metal on dipstick your trans will need to be rebuilt soon
