Welcome aboard, you've found a great and informative place to hang out.
Like jaydogg I too do my first oil change at 1000 miles, it's just something I do. And at this point I also replace the dino oil with M1 full synthetic and have alway's had great success in every new car I've bought using this method. My last new car was a Focus and that's the method I used on it. I installed a supercharger on the motor at 10k, the car now has about 80k on the clock and the last compression check I did it still had 180 lb accross all four cy's.
I'm hoping to pick up my HHR tomorrow. -Dan

Welcome aboard. You'll have a great time with the HHR. I've had mine about a month now and love it. I can't wait to drive it everyday. I too bought off the dealer lot. Got the 2LT with everything I wanted. I'm just like jaydoog & dan-d I also change the oil at 1000 & switch to Mobil-1. Have done that on each new car I've owned. Enjoy your new HHR, and the wonderful advice here on the fourm

My HHR is the red with the tan interior. I really liked it with the chrome and the nice wheels. I live in LeRoy which is about half way between Bloomington and Champaign. I will post some photos soon as I figure out how to do it LOL

We will see if this works. I love my car, my wife was making fun of me for being up at 7 and in the garage messing with it this morning. 
Thanks Mike the program worked. Hey Nate you are not too far take care.
