Motor oil provides your Chevrolet Spark’s engine components with essential
lubrication, helping prevent them from grinding against each other and overheating.
Without it, their parts could begin grinding against one another, eventually
overheating and even breaking down altogether.
Maintain a cleaner engine by collecting dust and debris particles and transporting
them directly to the oil filter for disposal, as well as increasing fuel efficiency by
reducing frictional losses between engine parts.
Changing the Oil and Filter
Your Chevrolet Spark’s engine needs the right oil in order to function, as its moving
components rely on it to reduce friction and avoid mechanical problems such as
engine knocking. Furthermore, motor oil picks up dirt and dust particles,
transporting them through its oil filter before being caught by its filter – regular oil
changes help maintain clean and healthy engines that increase their lifespan as well
as their resale value.
Your Chevrolet Spark’s recommended oil change intervals depend on its climate and
driving habits, but in general you should have it changed every 3,000-5,000 miles
for conventional motor oil or every 7,500-10, 000 miles for synthetic oil. For further
guidance regarding when exactly to change it out, refer to your owner’s manual or
dealer for guidance.
Your Chevrolet Spark’s 1.4L V4 Ecotec engine can produce up to 98 horsepower and

If your engine’s oil system is malfunctioning or experiencing low oil levels, an alert

place as soon as possible to restore performance and avoid further problems with its performance.

Changing the Oil Filter
Oil filters are essential components of an engine. Their purpose is to keep moving
parts apart to prevent damage, friction and overheating; while providing sufficient
lubrication. An improperly maintained oil filter could lead to engine failure resulting
in costly repairs; so regular oil changes should be scheduled to ensure optimal
functioning of your vehicle’s engine.
Most automotive stores and quick lube chains provide oil change services at
reasonable rates, changing standard motor oil at reasonable costs for you. Their
filters may be comparable to what came with your car; however, you can get highergrade filters online for much less money. It is wise to keep records of your oil
changes so when selling your Chevrolet Spark you can demonstrate to prospective
buyers that you have taken good care in maintaining it.
Doing it yourself may also be possible; just take extra caution in doing it. Know
which oil your vehicle requires and use a drain pan to collect old oil; inspect both
drain bolt and filter for signs of corrosion and be ready with wrench to loosen and
replace filter if needed.
Your Chevrolet Spark may need its oil changed more frequently than what is
recommended by its manufacturer if you frequently transport heavy loads, drive on
dusty roads or partake in off-roading activities. Furthermore, high mileage motor oil
designed specifically for vehicles over 75,000 miles should also be considered when
changing oil more regularly to reduce consumption, reduce smoke emissions and
ensure lasting vehicle performance. At Bill Estes Chevrolet Buick GMC Lebanon in
Lebanon we carry high mileage motor oil that can help lower consumption, minimize
smoke emission levels and ensure your Spark continues to run strong over its
lifetime! Bill Estes Chevrolet Buick GMC Lebanon stocks high mileage motor oil
