Maintenance parts

gibvel said:

Hi, just joined.

Getting a 2003 Malibu this Saturday and I want to get info on parts I will need for general maintenance and tips.

For oil change is there a part number for an extended length filter. I usually use Purolator Pure-one filters in my cars.

Is there a gasket on the oil pan plug that I should look for?

Any other maintenance tips I should be aware of?

Thanks
Mark

Yeah, I never noticed the '97 Grand Prix models until I had one, then they all just came out of the woodwork! I still see 'em.
