press both buttons of the DIC controls on the steering wheel, scroll to reset oil life monitor and enter - you will get an "allowed" or some other message confirming. There is also a key on, pump the gas pedal chingas as well. Someone will chime in about that Im sure. Just did mine Saturday.

Thanks for the advice. The steering wheel method didnt work for me, but the key on, pump the gas pedal did. I didnt get any confirmation message, but it is showing oil at 100%.

For people not getting the gas mileage they thought they would get, I've run with mobil one since the day I bought my 07 HHR. 50,000 miles later and I still get 25 city and 31 highway.

2009 socket wrench too tall

I could not get a 32MM or a 1-1/4" socket that would fit because the manifold is in the way on my 2009 HHR LT2. I ended up purchasing the shortest 32MM socket I could get at Advanced Auto. I used a bench grinder to shorten it 3/8" and took off a crescent edge at the top. The socket ended up being 1-3/8" tall instead of 1-3/4". I took some pictures but do not know how to insert. Anyway, it works great.
