Coolant Level
#3
It's hard on my 2.4 to determine the correct coolant level. A month after I bought the car I used a marker to draw a line at where the coolant level was when cold and have been using that as a reference ever since

That doesn't sound right. On my container I'm guessing at least 7" if not more from the bottom is my current fluid level (although I can't verify at the moment I'm at work). I couldn't distinguish the fluid level marks which is why I made my own mark.
When it's cold/engine off, when you open the rad cap on the tee (upper hose between the engine and radiator) there should be at least fluid present (meaning the raditor is full at least until you start the engine)

Duh, stupid me.
Just got home from work, went out to the garage and opened the hood on the HHR.
There it was, on the coolant reservior, emblazoned in white read, "Dexcool".
But I asked that question at around the time of a coffee break in a NYC highrise office building where my HHR was many, many miles away, so I have to credit ChevyMgr for setting me straight on this.
