Hello all!
Just bought a 2008 panel with a 2.4 5 speed manual and 70,000 miles. I love it! What performance/mileage changes should I make to this 2.4 Panel?
Advantages and disadvantages. Any mods that I should do to improve performance and making this engine last. Will be changing my oil over to Mobile synthetic this week. Again my goal is making this engine last and improving mileage and performance.
Thanks Robert

Welcome to the site 
I have an 08 2.4 5 spd panel that I have had since new. It has 81000 miles on it now. I haven't had any engine problems.
The only thing that comes to mind is to check the timing chain tensioner and see if it has the updated one in it. I update my 07 and 08 but the 08 already had the new updated tensioner in it.
Here a thread on the tensioner. https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-...-rattle-46159/
