Or not longer than 1 year without an oil & filter change..
To the OP: the HHR is about the easiest ride to change oil on..
For the oil filter, you may want to pick up a 32mm shorty socket at local auto parts stores. Just get the store brand socket, it's cheap.. Then use a 3/8" drive rachet & 5" extension..

What exactly is your question?
Just this?
As stated, it's an easy oil change.

Gonna sound like a dumb question but cut me some slack...PLEASE. It is just about time to have or change the oil in the 2.2 it has 8,000 plus on this oil so I am sure it is a synthetic (I am a conventional man 40 plus years) oil. My question what is recommended ? The sticker on the winshield is from Firestone and was not a local vehicle when I purchased it. I have done my own for years but not opposed to a PRO doing it. I would appreciate any help I can get.

I was asking the OP if this is all he was looking for. Or if there was something else he was looking for.

Question..why use expensive oil on a stock vehicle thats a daily driver? And then change it short? Just about any oil out there will accomplish the same thing, with the same milage. The days of the gummy eng are pretty much over with todays oils and theres little benefit to be gained. Yeah, cheap insurance and all that..but insurance from what? Somebody show me a stock engine thats failed because of using stock type recommended oil..humor me..just one, that has failed due to the oil..your just lining the pockets of the manufacturer...its like spending 20$ on a hamburger that can be had for 5$ somewhere else....its still hamburger...lol ! NOT to be confused with those people who run modified motors and or have high performance vehicles where these types of are required..a modded engine is a sort of investment and all means applied to protect it..but a stock DD..I dont get it.....just sayin
