Jessi 5 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Today I registered my car (got license plates). And the guy had to call the state treasurer, or some other government agency like that, because I was the first person in all of Nebraska to buy a 2016 Chevy spark LS manual. Lol. They had to verify what it was. 😂😂😂. Made the process take longer but it made me feel special. Retired old Gearhead and Thomas Taco Schulz 2 Link to post Share on other sites

mattskiracer 1 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 5000 miles and just got the oil changed, even though 30% was still left on the oil level monitor. First spark in for an oil change at the dealership Retired old Gearhead 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 5000 miles and just got the oil changed, even though 30% was still left on the oil level monitor. First spark in for an oil change at the dealership Nice job Matt..always good to get the first oil change done early..gets rid of the new engine break in aluminum particles that end up in the oil/filter..now that that's been cleared out you can go to maybe 5-10%...use synthetic if you want the gas mileage and engine life. I think the new all aluminum 1.4L is a good engine with consistent materials between head and block..so a longer head gasket life due to less lateral expansion friction and equal heat absorb/dissipation...VVT design is an unchanged proven design..OK..TMI..'Nuff said... aguim 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Red 0 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 7000 miles got oil changed, burned about half or little over half quart. Car is at 8,000 mils now. First Time Poster here. When are you going to change the CVT fluid, I've seen 45,000 and 90,000. Hi and what do you all think>? Link to post Share on other sites

denware 0 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 11,500 miles on a manual shift and still running strong. Though, I'm starting to hear a "growl" when I depress the clutch at highway speeds so I'll be making an appointment at the dealership. Might be the clutch release/throw out bearing.

Clutch itself is not warranty since it is a 'consumable' part similar to disk pads..however throwout bearing is...No chattering clutch just before release? Link to post Share on other sites
Klhuffman 1 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 40,000 km up in Ontario and runs great, I baby it like crazy and work at a dealer so I can do every thing early and often Link to post Share on other sites

Goldfish55 0 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 My car just rolled 30,000 yesterday. I did 27,000 last year. The only complaint I have is the obscene amount of paint chips and windshield chips with the relatively flat windshield. I have averaged 40mpg since I bought it but rarely go below 42mpg. Winter drops it to 38 but the best I've had is 47mpg on a full tank and 51 on a half tank. Link to post Share on other sites
MacintoshGuy 14 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 If I may since my Spark is actually a 2017, I just flipped over 21,000 miles Friday on my way home from the office. Link to post Share on other sites

Here is my humble opinion on CVT oil change...all depends on how hard or easy you are on the gas pedal. If hard, 45,000, if you rarely floor it, I would go 75,000. Link to post Share on other sites
