I change my own oil with Mobil 1 + AC filter when the DIC gets down low. My last oil change, July, was at 11000+ miles and DIC said 27%. I had done a lot of highwy driving since March. Two trips to NYS and back plus one trip to Huntsville AL and back.
The HHR is one of the easiest cars to the change oil.

Ok, so my truck leaks oil a little bit... After it's time to change the oil, it could be up to a quart low... If I were to run it with a quart low, would that hurt? I usually top it off now and again, but I was just wondering if it would hurt anything to be a quart too low?
Didn't anyone ever teach you to check the oil and coolant levels and tire pressure at least once a month?
If you think you may have an oil leak, check it weekly... especially in older vehicles. Keep a quart or two behind the seats... and add when needed.

No, I do check it, and I usually do add to it. I was just wondering if it would hurt if I didn't check, or forgot to, and drove around about a quart low. Just wondering.
