Saturn recommends having your 2000 Saturn LW1’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your LW1 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your LW1 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.
