Your welcome, for my own sanity and the fact I don’t know the plugs age in my new to me 2011, I’ll replace them and the Dexcool.
The odometer shows 108,000 miles.

I only have about 82k on the clock but no way can I go 100k on plugs that would drive me nuts lol.Plan on keeping my HHR for awhile , Runs great and in good shape,other the a scratch/gouge on the front bumper someone left for me in a parking lot :O Boy does that tick me off about people. who do not give a crap about damaging someone car :O

I hear you, it’s a shame, no sense of responsibility or respect for other people’s property.

My HHR is done for this weeks upkeep :) Plugs looked pretty good for for 81k but for what I get parts for they got filed and new put in :), Belt was due ,lots of cracks(sort of normal) but I would say the rubber was ageing and about 9 y/o due to go :) so new one installed, ,My mechanic found a loose heat shield so that explains the little bit of noise I heard when at idle ! Got my Safety inspection sticker, so good to go :)the OEM battery still looked new after 9 years but what a difference in a battery that lives in a box vs, under the hood lol , Tensioner and pulley looked good, so will hold off for now ,(hopefully do not regret it ) :O , Will get Radiator fluid flushed and changed, I have no place to dump the fluid safely so will pay one of my customers to do it ! I supply the DEXCOOL he supplies the flushing lol and I will get the brake lines flushed !
And a BIG THANK YOU to all the advice you guys have given me !!!

I agree keep it clean and drive it often :) It is washed at least once a week in the summer, and at the car wash also spray the bottom ! In the winter washed at least twice a month ! Driven weekly :) Another reason I want it all up to snuff is if my grandson's car take a dump it will go to him,and I want everything safe! Again Thank You All for answering my silly question's
