I want to go with Mobile One synthetic, but hey, I'm putting in whatever they give me at the Chevy Store.
The dealer gave us free oil changes for life,
And the funny thing is , the sales guy did not even tell us about it as an incentive

We are using Amsoil 5W-30, full synthetic. Dumped factory fill at 1,148 miles.
My daily commute to and from work is approximately 200 highway miles. We have had our HHR 5-weeks today and have just under 5,000 miles driven.
Zero problems thus far. Fuel mileage is averaging 30.5 to 31.5 MPG. Not bad.

HHRandy... DON'T tell me you live in Saginaw and work in D-Town!!! That's about the ONLY commute I can think of (on a daily basis) that's THAT far!!! Unless, of course, your in sales and commuting... .. .
And I thought my commute was bad (42mile's 1-way... IN-and-OUT of downtown) ... traffic and driver's alike get horrendous
the further south I go!
