Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, gasket sealing surface, and filter clearance before installation. Replace the filter at the manufacturer OE oil change interval, typically 3,750 to 10,000 miles and not more than 12 months, and use the correct oil type specified for the vehicle. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s service information, especially on 2011-2024 Chevrolet Spark, Aveo, Beat, and Cavalier models.
