The 2009 Chevy HHR should have about 6.5 quarts of transmission fluid in it. You'll want to use a synthetic transmission fluid like Dexron ViATF when you change it. It's a good idea to check your transmission fluid every time you change your oil. When you check it, ensure that it's full and clean without any debris. If you see any sparkly or reflective bits in the fluid, that's metal particles floating around, which isn't good. If you spot any leaks from your transmission, it's important to fix them promptly. Low fluid levels can lead to excessive heat, potentially damaging the gears.
Dexron VI ATF, 1 quart, is the specified oil capacity and type for use in this automatic transmission.
