When to Change 2002 Saturn SC2 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Saturn SC2’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. 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.”

Saturn recommends having your 2002 Saturn SC2’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your SC2 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Saturn recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. 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.
