RIGHT ON OLDBLUE !!! What has your general method been for services? I stick to the suggested service intervals and since around 100,000 I have used one of the products that many refer to as "SNAKEOIL" and I will swear by it. at around 260,000 I switched to 15W40.

In the big truck, I changed Dino oil every 3,000 miles, changed transmission fluid every 100,000 miles along with the rear differential lube. I'm a little OCD in that case!
For the HHR, I run synthetic 5w30 Castrol Edge , change it every 7,500 miles, change the transmission fluid and filter every 100,000 miles.
On both I use a K&N air filter, wash it every spring. Keep it clean and drive it often!!

Before I got my 2008 HHR in 2013, I had a 1997 Toyota Tercel with 275,000 miles on the clock. I sold it to a friend for $1.00 with full declaration of its problems.

In context, I am shamed. I have had 2 cars hit 142K+ miles, but my HHR is now at 141K miles. I hope to break my own record, but 500K+ seems out of reach with an HHR SS.
