Why can I get a oil chang for less then $20. It would cost me more to do it myself?

Welcome to the HHr Site, and if you find any place that can change your oil for less them please let this Site know were the place is. Now you must tell us if you have an HHr and what color it is and something about your self.

That's a fine price, if you are ok with Meineke's oil, whatever brand that may be ???
In my vehicles & bikes, I only use Mobil 1 Synthetic , & I just have to do it myself...(or I don't sleep well).LOL........ Sure Good synthetic costs more, but it's well worth it IMHO......

So Matt...

Now that your "oil change" dilemma is resolved, are you going to change your own oil or take it to Meineke, in the future?

How often do you change the oil.....what schedule are you comfortable with .

Why not use the oil life indicator?

And just to dredge up an old topic...

I had the HHR up on my new Rhino ramps yesterday to put on the Progress anti-sway bar and decided to look at the front end afterwards.

I took a look at the oil plug and cannot see any extra washer at all. Or is that the idea of the crush washers (can't see 'em when they're "crushed")?
