Full synthetic should not cause any problems.

P0010 "A" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1). You're fine with Synthetic, I always use it, and my 2006 is now on high mileage synthetic.

Use the grade specified by the factory. Synthetic will not build sludge.

Hello, I am 16 years old. My mom bought a car for me just yesterday. It is a used 2006 Chevy HHR LS (Color: Maroon). We have a big problem, and I have tried searching the reason for this possible 'error', but have found nothing. The problem is that whenever I open the car door to get in, after a few seconds, the hazard signals come on (where both blinkers are on), and after a moment, (10-15 seconds) they cut off. This happens as well when I turn the car off, and go to get out, I even lock it. They cut off after 10-15 seconds, but this isn't normal I am guessing. If anyone that does know what is going on could possibly help, that'd be very helpful. Thank you for your time. 1 Answer

Hazard lights turn on before engine start up, and remain on for 10-15 seconds (turns off when car turns on) Hazard lights turn on after engine turns off, and remain on for 5-10 seconds.
