Does anyone know the location of the oil filter for the 2008 Chevy Malibu? Aren’t sure where to find it. Thanks!

depends on which engine you have. if it is the ecotec engine it is on the right front of the engine and you get at it from the top of the car. it is in a black canister with a large hex shape on the top of it.

if its an ecotec it should be the same. if your looking at the engine from the front it will be in the front right as described as before
