After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Saturn recommends changing your 1991 SC’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SC in the above table.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Saturn SC. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
