When to Change 2005 Saturn L300 Engine Oil

Need more info about 2005 Saturn L300 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties.

Saturn recommends changing your 2005 L300’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Saturn-recommended oil change intervals, your L300 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Saturn if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Saturn L300. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
