The 2018 Chevy Spark requires 4.0 liters (4.2 quarts) of 0W-20 engine oil. Some popular choices are Mobil 1, Valvoline SynPower, Quaker State, Castrol Edge, Mag 1, and Royal Purple. Since this is a synthetic oil, it doesn't need to be changed as frequently as conventional oil. Chevrolet suggests changing it every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, but your specific maintenance schedule should be based on your driving habits and local weather conditions. For instance, if you have a long daily commute at low speeds or live on a dusty road, you may need to replace the oil more often. Proper oil maintenance is crucial for your engine's health, as old or low oil can't effectively lubricate, protect, or cool the engine. On average, an oil change for the 2018 Spark costs between $160 and $180, with labor accounting for $60 to $100 of that total.
The 2018 Chevy Spark offers various trim options featuring a 1.4-liter engine. Each trim level, including the Spark LS, Spark LT 1, Spark LT 2, and Spark Activ, can be equipped with either a manual or continuously variable-speed transmission. Additionally, all models require 4.2 quarts of 0w-20 oil.
