The type of oil that a Chevy HHR requires is 5w30. It's important to change the oil periodically. A good guideline is to do this every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failure to change the oil can lead to engine issues. It's crucial to use high-quality oil for the engine to function properly. Problems with the oil will eventually arise. An unpleasant burning smell may indicate an issue that needs to be addressed promptly to prevent potential danger. Using old or low-quality oil can result in engine failure, accompanied by knocking noises and reduced gas mileage.
