I agree with you that the oil change should come every 3K. It's just a little assurance thing to keep one from being sorry later, you might say.
 
I only have 400 miles on my 09 AWD 2.4--

I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall the very first oil change should be around 3000 due to engine break-in.
 
I usually do the normal oil-change at 5000-7000, since I do mostly highway miles.

Thank heavens for that! I find it very annoying when someone locks their car and the horn honks.

The honking can be slightly startling, but it has a value for reassurance of locking, and also in locating the car. In addition, some game-playing for amusement...

Annoying. Rude. Crude. Uncivil. Should be outlawed.

"I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall the very first oil change should be around 3000 due to engine break-in."
 
- My manual does indeed say every 5000 miles for an '08.
 
I will make the 1st oil change at 5000 miles, after that I'll do evey 7000 miles.
 
Take care.

although i prefer the locking to be silent many vehicles have the option of either silent or horn sounding. it can't be too hard to include that.
on another note i would like to let anyone out there interested in the chrome clad 17 inch wheels to know they are actually not chrome but only a plastic wrapped wheel that chips easily. our vibe started peeling off after only 1500 miles and pontiac will do nothing about it. just thought i would warn anyone interested in those wheels. i don't know how they figure these are worth 650 dollars extra for plastic.

Tiny paint pits on the spoiler by smokiescat

At less than 4,000 miles and none of it on what one would call a rugged road, I have pinholes on the front spoiler (air dam). At first, I thought the pits were bugs. Upon close inspection, they are irregularly shaped specks of silver ("liquid platinum"?) paint, each with a small hinge to reveal the black elastomeric spoiler. The coating should be more resilient. I still love my Vibe GT but am disappointed.

2009 vibe 2.4 oil capacity by rob52

I CHANGED MY OIL ON A 2.4 ENGINE AND THE DIPSTICK READS FULL
AT 4 QUARTS. THE 2009 VIBE MANUAL STATES THE ENGINE IS FULL AT 4.5 QUARTS. HAS ANYONE RUN INTO A SIMILIAR SITUATION? I READ ABOUT 2000 TOYOTA TRUCKS BEING SENT FROM THE FACTORY WITH
THE WRONG DIPSTICK AND HAD TO BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA.
