The proper replacement parts, uids, and
lubricants to use are listed inRecommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 401andNormal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 402.
When your vehicle is serviced, make sure these
are used. All parts should be replaced and all
necessary repairs done before you or anyone else
drives the vehicle. We recommend the use of
genuine Saturn parts.Scheduled Maintenance
When the Change Engine Oil light comes on,
it means that service is required for your vehicle.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible
within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible
that, if you are driving under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system may not indicate
that vehicle service is necessary for over a year.
However, your engine oil and lter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the
system must be reset. Your Saturn retailer has
Saturn-trained service technicians who will perform
this work using genuine Saturn parts and reset
the system.
If the engine oil life system is ever reset
accidentally, you must service your vehicle within
3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last service.
Remember to reset the oil life system whenever
the oil is changed. SeeEngine Oil Life System on
page 300for information on the Engine Oil Life
System and resetting the system.
