Well, I got my first oil change today 2,980 miles It took me 9 months to reach this point....I wonder how long till the next oil change

 

Wow! I just had my oil changed yesterday at 9 months and I'm at 25,890!

 

Gee, I am three weeks from 1 year and the odometer is reading over 40,000....drive it until the wheels fall off !!! Hey bish the long distance trophy for the August Big Run is going to be a battle with you coming in from the east, some coming in from the west and even an HHR or two out of Canada, not to metion the competition out of the south !!! Deerman, the next milestone is the century mark, I'll even ride with you...

 

I thought you had to do the oil changes every so many miles or so many months to keep your warranty...I am having a brain fart and can't remember the times or the miles

 

I figuered it out...every 3000 miles or every 90 days... mine is every 90 days...Our 2005 Aveo had just alittle over 16,500 mi on it

 

Here we go again!!

 

Are you pickin on me????

 

No, not picking on anyone. Just that the debate that will follow, has been debated in several threads.

 

sweetmama, here is just one of many examples of said debate :https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...ghlight=change

They get touchy over this one

 

I hate to add to the fire. My .02 on oil changes and oil life. IF your running a synthetic motor oil then you can extend your oil change interval because the petrolium based oils break down when exposed to moisture and the carbon build up inherant in all engines. If your running standard oil please do your HHR a favor and change your oil every 3 months if your not driving a lot. A quart of oil is $0.99, cheap protection. I was an ASE master tech for 12 years. I hope my opinion counts for something.
