Oil for older engines? by
Barry Schnoor
Just heard a castrol ad on the radio for oil for older engines...preventing
oil burnoff.
My '94 (157,000 miles) SL2 used just over a quart between oil changes (2,500
miles) when it was new. Now she's burning more. I'm using 10-30 oil.
Anyone have experience with oil for high-mileage cars? ...

6th Planet - good experience by
Barry Schnoor
I just had Joey ship a low mileage engine to my sister for her '96 SL2.
Saved them about $700 compared to what the shop wanted to pull one from a
junk yard and install it.
They were a *little* slow shipping the engine, but I just got word from my
brother-in-law that the engine has been installed...

Thanks...and Bye by
Barry Schnoor
My '94 SL2 is no more.
After 167,000 mostly trouble-free miles (and no end in sight), a fellow
decided to see how his truck would look in my trunk.
Lots o' damage.
I've enjoyed this forum immensely...the help, the opinions.
I expect I'll be a Saturn owner again someday. As much as I know it's...

Experience with 6thplanet ? by
Barry Schnoor
Looking at buying a replacement engine at 6thplanetusedparts.com for a '96
SL2 with coolant in the oil....siezed engine.
Prices and warranty seem reasonable. The folks there seem great to work
with.
Any recommendations? Horror stories?
Thanks.

Bleeding radiator by
Barry Schnoor
I flushed my radiator per instructions on the can of flush.
Now I get a blinking low-coolant-level light about 2 minutes after the
engine starts...I'm guessing the engine's warming, the thermostat is opening
and causing the light...due to an air bubble?
The reservoir is full. If there *is* and...

Exhaust smoke and MMO by
Barry Schnoor
Howdy folks,
After a year of reading posts and living with the puff of smoke every time I
accellerated, I finally did the top engine cleaning with MMO...and it seems
to have done the trick.
I pulled the plugs, put in 2 tablespoons of MMO in each cylinder and let it
sit over night. In the...

Headliner by
Barry Schnoor
Headliner was the name of the first band I played in during my angst-filled
teen years...
But now the headliner is falling down in my '94 SL2. I know this isn't a
Saturn specific problem...but can someone point me to a fix? I tried the 3M
"sprayment"...the aerosol spray glue. The stuff sticks...

Slick 50? by
Barry Schnoor
158,000 miles on my '94 SL2...
Any thoughts on using an oil additive, or one of those "high mileage" oils
to help prevent oil burnoff? How about slick 50 or DuPont's Greased
Lightning?
I'm using twice as much oil as I was when this car was brand new...2 quarts
between oil changes instead of just...

My Saturn's Radio has A.D.D. by
Bart Collins
Help,
The factory radio in my wife's 08 Saturn Sky has developed A D D. It
will wander off the station preset frequency. Example - I listen to 98.7
FM and for no rhyme or reason, the radio will drift to 98.5 or 98.9 with
the loss of signal. Pressing the preset brings it back for a little
while but...

Saturn & synthetic oil? by

First pardon me for cross-posting. It is not meant to irk anyone but to ask
as many people knowledgeable about GM cars as possible.
When I recently purchased my 2007 Saturn ION 2, the first thing I asked the
service people is when can I switch to syntetic oil.
They recommend waiting until at...

Another Saturn Alarm Problem by
bboy327
I have an '06 Saturn Vue that I purchased in Sept. '06 with 28k miles.
Last week at around midnight the alarm activated. After checking that
no one had opened any doors I reset the alarm but the dome lamps
wouldn't turn off. It was the first cold night we'd had here in
Houston, around 38 degrees,...

New Ion syn oil? by
BE
Maybe you guys can help.
My wife took her new 06 Saturn Ion 3 - 4,000 miles to a quick lube place and
asked for good oil as the car was new and this was its 1st oil change.
They put in QS Full syn oil (cost 2x as much) and changed the filter.
Is this a problem so early in the cars life?
Thanks.

Checked the fan and it's working fine. As long as I was going over 50mph
the temp. stayed in the normal range but as soon as there was a lot of
stop and go traffic it would increase. Usually turning on the AC brought

The car hit a 6 inch curb a couple of years back and ever since a slight
vibration/noise has gotten worse. When turning left at high speeds the
noise gets louder and turning right it fades away. It has gotten worse
ever since. Both the left and right wheel bearings have been replaced....
