Chevy Spark Code 82: What Is It and How Do I Fix It?

What’s up, my friend? Today I’m writing this post because I can’t recall whether I ever explained the code 82 on this old Chevy Spark last time. Only now can I tell you what I’ve decided to do.

The first time this code appeared on the dash of my Chevy Spark, I was anxious and a little perplexed. However, you shouldn’t be alarmed; it’s just a reminder to have your oil changed. So without wasting any more time, let’s go ahead and get right to it.
