it does not have one ! on these models it is not necessary to check the fluid level at regular intervals. if leaks or shifting problems lead you to suspect a low fluid level, with the vehicle raised and safely supported, start the engine, then move the shift lever through all the ranges, ending in park. with the engine running and the transaxle at normal operating range. idle for ( 3-5 minutes) the check plug is located near the transmission pan,remove the plug, and observe the fluid as it drips into pan, indicating correct fluid level. the fluid level should be at the bottom of the check hole. check and make sure car is level. if no fluid drips from check hole, add small amounts of fluid to the fill cap on top of the transaxle until level is at bottom of check hole. be sure to tighten the plug when done.
I found out that it doesn't have a dipstick.
The transmission in a newer Malibu does not have a dipstick. It is meant to be left alone until it is time to have the vehicle serviced by the dealer or a licensed mechanic.

There should be two dipsticks under the hood on a Malibu. One will be plainly marked "OIL" or "ENGINE OIL." The other one is your transmission fluid. This is assuming your Malibu has automatic transmission. If your Malibu has a manual transmission (stick shift), then there is no dipstick for transmission fluid -- manual trannies get lubrication from the engine oil.
200 Chevy Malibu has a sealed system, so it does not have a dipstick to check the transmission fluid. If there are issues, one has to check the fluid while the car is running.
I have a 2000 Malibu and it does not have a tranny dipstick. You have to check fluid under car, there is a check hole on the trans. It's a pain in the butt.
There isn't one. Don't you love it?

Automatic transmission dip stick is found in back of the engine, passenger side.
