Scheduled Maintenance - Chevrolet 2011 HHR Owner's Manual

The proper replacement parts, fluids, and lubricants to
use are listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 7 8 and Maintenance Replacement Parts on

from your dealer.
Rotation of New Tires
To maintain ride, handling, and performance of the
vehicle, it is important that the first rotation service for
new tires be performed. Tires should be rotated every
12 000 km/7,500 miles. See Tire Inspection and
Rotation on page 6 63.

Scheduled Maintenance

When the Change Oil Soon Message
Displays
Change engine oil and filter. See Engine Oil on
page 6 16. An Emission Control Service.
When the CHANGE OIL SOON message displays,
service is required for the vehicle as soon as possible,
within the next 1 000 km/600 miles. If driving under the
best conditions, the engine oil life system might not
indicate the need for vehicle service for more than a
year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least
once a year and the oil life system must be reset. Your
dealer has trained service technicians who will perform
this work and reset the system. If the engine oil life
system is reset accidentally, service the vehicle within
5 000 km/3,000 miles since the last service. Reset the
oil life system whenever the oil is changed. See Engine
Oil Life System on page 6 20.
