4 qts for the 4 cyl., and 4.5 for the 6 cyl.

Underneath the car in the front, there is a plastic cover you need to remove. There are two wingnuts in the front. Either turn those by hand or use pliers, and then lower the front of the cover down a inch and then you can pull the cover forward (towards the front of the car). The back of the cover just has tabs that fit into slots. The oil filter will then be readily visible and very easy to get at.

No crush washer. Just don't go crazy over tightening the drain bolt!

No special procedures, the 1999 and 2003 Bu's are one of the easiest cars I've ever had in terms of oil changes.

How often should you change the oil in your 2000 Chevy Malibu?

Recommended at 3,000 miles but your car can easily surpass 5,000 in most conditions. My 1999 Malibu is changed every 4500-5000 miles on name-brand filters and oil. No problems with good maintenance at 202,000 miles.
