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

Your 2000 SC2’s oil should be changed according to Saturn’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SC2 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your SC2 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of 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, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Saturn SC2. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
