Jeffrey Makela 6 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I went to 2 places to try to get a oil change. Both said they can't get the oil filter for my Chevy spark. So I have to go to the dealer to get a oil change. Can I buy the oil filter online? Link to post Share on other sites
Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Unless you live in a area like the NE Congo or some very remote area with more bikes than cars, then there are garages who can order this for you through their local auto supply they normally deal with. Although most garages keep a limited inventory of commonly used parts, fasteners, fliters etc..there are some cars like the Spark that need an oil filter that is not interchangeable with many other cars..so no sense for them to keep inventory on items like that...that being said, you can order one online, but should not have to..find a good garage/mechanic and they will order the part..usually arrives same day, and change your oil. A garage/mechanic that does not want to do this obviously does not want your future business. Remember that every single day even a small garage orders parts from their supplier (like NAPA, United, etc) several times a day. Always good to have a trusted Mechanic you can go to/call when you have an issue and eventually they will have a pretty good data-base on your car so that when you come in they are familiar with past issues..etc. So that's the story on that, but there are many places online to order a filter or in fact any part for a Spark ...any model any year..Spend a few minutes on google and type in something like "2013 Chevy Spark oil filter" and I'm pretty sure you will find tens of thousands of choices..car parts are big business online...'Nuff said..

Klhuffman 1 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 be careful what filters your using though.. the OEM ACDelco oil filer for the sparks has a little pressure valve right inside the filter in the center. it just helps to regulate pressure, but the sparks and the avalanche trucks use it, and without it will most likely set off oil pressure lights and engine lights the proper acdelco filter is called UPF64R Bobby MSME 1 Link to post Share on other sites
