What can low oil do to my Saturn LW300 engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your LW300’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Saturn LW300 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Saturn exhaust smoke gray or blue?

What can cause the oil light on my Saturn LW300 to illuminate?

Do I need to change my LW300's oil filter when I get an oil change?

Your 2002 LW300’s oil should be changed according to Saturn’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your LW300 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.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Saturn LW300.
