Oil Change
I've only had my car a little over 3 months now and i'm due for my second oil change (i'm at 11,302km). I use Royal Purple 5w-30 and a regular AC Delco filter.
It costs a little more but I noticed better gas mileage and such in my LS1 Camaro, so I'll keep using it.
* Also, apparently you're supposed to drive you brand new car pretty hard, it helps seat the seals better. They told my dad to drive the snot out of his CTS for the first while instead of baby it, and they told me the same.

i think this way is a good way...granted its for a nissan but seems like a good write up

well I guess they must not do this everywhere then GM is doing some promo work its at the dealer service centers (Goodwrench) you get oil, filter, lube, 4 tire rotation, and 27 point inspection for $40 and I also got a $15 coupon so it was only $25 took em 3 and a half hours though

Dont mean any real offense but your an idiot and wasting money, unless you run the car really hard, with synthetic you dont need to change it as often.
And I havent switched to synthetic yet in the cobalt, almost done breaking it in, and when I do I will be running pennzoil platinum like I do in my truck motor which is more of a full synthetic than mobil 1.

my car's coming from detroit. well from detroit to pa, then back to ohio. so the first like four hundred miles is gonna be highway, which kinda kills my break in period, but my bu and my bro's hhr are both fine. well till I wrecked the bu.
Ive never liked changing oil that way. Yeah its clean, yeah it saves putting the car on ramps/jack/whatever, but you get more oil out when you use the drain plug, Ive tested it numerous times, I love my Evac tank for coolant and for other servicve procedures and things....but NOT for oil changes. Also, the wand doesnt really like super hot oil....itll get deformed eventually. :personal experience:
Not true.
My last oil change @ 23k, I measured what i took out.
There are "tick" marks on the vacuum catch that measures in liters.
According to the owners manual im supposed to have 5 qts.
I took out 4.7 liters. (as per tick marks on container)
Thats good enough.
