How does Saturn drivetrain maintenance help save money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Saturn drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Saturn LS1, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Saturn LS1 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my LS1 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your LS1’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the LS1 malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my LS1?

If your LS1 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my LS1 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your LS1. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your LS1's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Saturn, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Saturn LS1, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Saturn's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
