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...

2004 VUE V6 AWD - looking for oil change help by jjp
I have a 2004 VUE, v6, AWD. I'd like to do my own oil change, as I have done for all of my other vehicles, but I haven't yet been able to find the oil filter! I'll admit that I haven't looked real hard, but I did spend a few minutes looking from the top, and also crawled underneath (without...

Tire recommendation L300 by Victor DiMichina
I just replaced the aging Firestone Firehawk GTA02 (215/55/16) on my 2002 L300 with a set of Dunlop SP Sport A2 tires, same size. I noticed an improvement in every measurable sense. I highly recommend these tires. Vic 2002 L300

Transmission Service by Wild Bill
It is well past the time for my son's Saturn transmission to be serviced. My Nissan guy used a process that exchanges/replaces over 90% of the fluid, but the down side is that pan doesn't come off and the filter doesn't get changed. It is my understanding that conventional transmission...

missing my Saturn by Justin
My previous car was a '98 SL1 4 door, 5 speed, gold. Now I drive a '99 Chevy Venture minivan. I should have bought a Saturn SL1 or SL2 wagon. Japanese cars like the Civic or Corolla might have better fit/finish but are a lot more boring than the Saturn. Saturns have character. When the Venture...

Just Bought 2004 V6 AWD Vue by Joe
I'm one of the few people left in this country that actually wanted a station wagon! I commute ~ 18 mi round-trip and occasionally need a vehicle that can carry things and is fuel efficient. I drove trucks during my early years and owned a Bronco II and Nissan pick-up. I was done with...

LW roof rack by Oppie
Now that we are into Summer, I'm beginning to think about vacation plans and using the roof rack on the '01 LW300. A couple of deficiencies come to mind vs. the old minivan - There are no strips on the roof (rubber or otherwise) to protect the paint. The roof rack rails do not have any eyes front...

Insurance Claim? by [email protected]
Anyone know how long it might take to settle an Insurance claim when it is not your Insurance Company? If the claim in under $1000 do you think they would settle it sooner, rather then later? Thanks!

Oil change by John Sloan
I've had my new Vue 2 weeks and have skimmed thru the manual a couple times. I did not see a recommended oil change interval. All I found was a recommendation to change oil within 600 miles after the oil change lite comes on. Is this the accepted interval or does everybody go by the 3000 mile...

Missfiring SL1 (97) by David De Vuono
If nothing else they sure have character. I have been struggling with a miss fire for several weeks now. I had some luck when I replaced the plug wires and used the "recommended" plugs but that only lasted 3 months (last winter). Now I put the bosch platinum plugs back in. Interesting, when I...

"Secret" 2001 Saturn Alignment Defect by Mr. Goodwrench
If you bring your car in, Saturn policy is that they will not inform you of this TSB unless you specifically ask for it by name, otherwise you will get an alignment and your car will continue to cup and chew up the rear tires, possibly causing a blowout, and loss of control of the vehicle. This...

2001 L200 by Newsguy
Hello again; The ignition key 'sticks' when you try to take it out of the ignition. It feels like something clamps the key in tight. Eventually you can remove it. But, it is getting to the point where the key has to be left in the ignition when you get out of the car. The key or ignition...

Low Coolant dash indicator '99 SL2 by David Allen
Every so often, the low coolant indicator flashes on the dash. Actually, 2 lamps flash simultaneously - the Low Coolant and Temp lamps. The owner's manual warns of a low coolant condition and to fill the reservoir. Ok, I check the reservoir and the coolant level is right where it should be (...

Is nobody mourning the loss of the L300? by Dave
I read that the car is being discontinued at the end of this month? Tis sad since the L300-1 seemed like a bargain fully equipped and will ALL the safety items standard. I don't even see anybody in this group even commenting on this. Was the car that bad? Saturn said that it was a car with no...
