Need more info about 2000 Saturn SL2 oil changes? Turn to 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, 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 SL2’s oil should be changed according to Saturn’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SL2 in the above table. Your SL2 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, 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 at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Saturn SL2. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

2000 Saturn SL2 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Saturn SL2? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Saturn SL2 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Saturn SL2 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Saturn SL2 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Saturn SL2? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Saturn SL2 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Saturn SL2 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Saturn SL2 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my SL2’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Saturn SL2 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
