Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1998 Saturn SC2? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. 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.
Your 1998 SC2’s oil should be changed according to Saturn’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Saturn-recommended oil change intervals, your SC2 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Saturn if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Saturn SC2. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1998 Saturn SC2 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Saturn has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 1998 SC2. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your SC2’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your SC2 by considering your driving habits, and odometer.
