Just curious to see how far any of you have gone before the change oil light has come on. I'm at 5,800 miles now...

My '92 SL1 odometer quit working (189,000) immediately after a Jiffy Lube oil change. As a matter of fact the new window sticker they put on is exactly 3000 mi more that what my now defunct odometer shows, which tells me something happened during the oil change. I took it back once I noticed the...

I own a 2001 Saturn LW200. There is lamp that indicate the moment to change oil. I ask to the dealer how the system decide that it is time to change oil. He didn't really knows. Sometimes the sign is on a long time before the usual 5000km (and the reset was well done). I make my changing oil every...

I own an 2007 Saturn Aura XR with about 59,000 miles. I've had the car since July of last year and so far I've put on about 23,000 miles. I drive on average of about 950 miles per week. I've only had the oil changed twice in the nearly 6 months that I've owned it. Both times that I've had it...

Simple question - where is the oil filter on 2007 ION 2 Automatic 4 door? Thanks a lot, Mark

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? ...

Hello, '99 Saturn, SOHC, 112,000+ Car overheated, doing about the city speed limit, 35-40, heat gauge went all the way over, motor never knocked, very little steam when i raised the hood. Looking at the engine, the coolant resevoir blew an oil like substance on the underside of the hood, and was...

High gas prices have created a new group of people - "pump grumblers." When pumping our high priced gas, we grumble words of resentment, while feeling powerless. We need gas, so we pay the price. Standing as a individual we are powerless, but together our voices would be heard. America is a strong,...

I just spent some time curing a oil leak on a Saturn. It seems the rear main or maybe the oil pan area. In the intersection of all three parts Oil Pan, Rear Main Housing, and engine block in just that little corner as it bends around the oil pan was a leak (I should say a pour). Well after...

Hi. On my daughters 97 SC2 DOHC, I had her starter replaced by a shop last week and now it is dripping oil from the same approximate location. I cannot get under there to see exactly, but could they be related? Do you need to remove the oil filter to get to the starter and then maybe it...

My wife's 92 SL1 has been leaking oil out of the passenger side of the engine for the past year or so. It collects around the lower motor mount, drips on the ground, and also some gets sprayed around by the serpentine belt to put a layer of grime on the bottom of the hood. Maybe a quart or two...

My wife bought a 2005 Ion and has put 4000 miles on it so far. The oil life warning has yet to signal a time for a change. The dealer says bring it in every 3000 mile, but at $40 a pop, I think they are more interested in making money. What is normal on these? Thanks in advance; Chuck

Was losing 1 qt. every 500 miles on a '93 dohc with 120k miles. Tried mmo soak, twice last year, didn't do it. Tried gm top engine cleaner soak upon someone's advice who had something to do with Saturn at some point in another state. Helped some, and seems to have broken up ring deposits into...

Hi- I am trying to locate an oil pan gasket for a 93 Saturn SL2, but from what I can tell, they don't exist... if you replace the oil pan, you just seal it with RTV sealant. Is this correct? Can anyone confirm or deny this? I find this very strange that it is only RTV sealant that is used, but...

Hi, I was changing my oil one day, and stripped the hole in the oil pan. I took it to a shop, and they put a "rubber" plug in it, since the original bolt would no longer fit. I took my car out of town, and while I was parked, the plug cracked, and all the oil leaked out. I took it to a shop...

I searched the topics and didnt' find this same question. My oil pressure light stays on for 10-15 seconds sometimes. Sometimes it goes off in a "normal" amount of time. When the light stays on there is a "ticking" coming from the engine. As soon as the light goes off the sound goes away. So...

1995 Saturn: A couple/three months ago my oil pressure light started coming on only after I first started the car and when I would approach the first road incline. But, it has come on more and more often ever since then - sometimes even on the highway briefly. I'm assuming it will eventually...
