All About 2002 Saturn SL Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your SL's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Saturn, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2002 Saturn SL to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Saturn's recommendations.
