Saturn L Series Oil Change

[@woola88]

Perfect! This will come in handy when my L200 is ready for its next oil change! Thanks guys!

[@minnesotamadetexasraised3425]

woola88 have you ever had to change your license plate bulb if so how did you do it could you let me know please

[@alfredojudah6505]

You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of days =)

[@augustchad8663]

@Alfredo Judah definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :D

This was well presented. I have a 2003 Saturn LW-200, 2.2 EcoTec engine. I would add 2 things - 1. My owner's book says to be sure the oil has the API starburst symbol on the container. I think most oils do, but maybe not all. 2. After the oil change, you need to reset the counter, or else the oil change reminder light can come on too soon - happened 1 time to me, maybe 10 years ago, when I forgot this step. Mine is a 2003, so I follow the second set of steps below - Saturn L Series Engine Oil Change Due Light Reset: 2004-2005 Turn ignition switch to ON position with engine off Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds of turning key Change Oil lamp will flash for 2-10 seconds while it resets Once it stops flashing, the maintenance light reset is complete Turn key to OFF position and then start engine to verify indicator is no longer illuminated 2001-2003 Remove the instrument panel fuse box cover (fuse box located under hood on Saturn) With the ignition switch in the ON position, depress the Oil Reset button for five seconds The change oil lamp should then go off

Infinitely easier than I thought! I can change my filter and use full synthetic for under $50 bucks myself instead of paying $105 for someone else to do it. Thanks! This was super helpful.

[@houseofbows]

thank you for the video , I just got a 2002 Saturn for Christmas!

[@hugh3rdof5]

Me2 -- just picked up an L100 2002..... still runs nicely.

[@goofusmaximusII]

Easy to understand, excellent vid..

[@troys5286]

I diddnt tighten the oil filter like you said and the car blew up.

[@lucascaruzo3657]

This video helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@chass5438]

You can make a drain pan plug for the trans. B&W trans plug kit. Very easy and easier when it comes time to replace your transmission fluid and filter.

[@jmueller87]

Is there a gasket or washer that goes on the drain plug?

[@mickeeia]

Trying to build up my tool 'game'! What size wrench do I need to change my own oil..2002 SaturnL100 ( got it brand new off the showroom floor back in 2002! Please & Thank you!

[@49495lwbrmoxybe]

Wrench:15 mm and a 1 1/4 socket for a socket wrench

[@ryanhatfield8823]

Can you make one on how to change the thermostat on a 2000 Saturn 3.0 v6?

[@jmueller87]

If I’ve always used conventional oil in my l200 and it’s running strong should I just stay with conventional or start running synthetic ? It has 177,777 miles. Thanks!

[@chopatize]

Huge help thanks!!!

[@noemimorales731]

Do you always have to change the filter when you change the oil? Also I have an oil leak inside my car would that leak be coming from the filter o ring, maybe it snapped when they changed my oil?

[@rswingman]

My filter would not snap into that housing. The top of the filter was indeed identical to new one (with the tabs) but there was no way to snap it in or to insert the filter and cap as a single unit. Could I have the wrong housing?

[@Morganthebandgeek]

Well NOW I know why it only takes 10Minutes AND $60 to do a full synthetic oil change on my 2002 L100 (aka my Lamborghini) LOL

[@MrEquilibrium1]

I bought a used one. But haven't gotten to check it yet, but does it have a radiator petcock?

[@steveanderson1437]

Thanks for the info!

[@senorsucka3384]

Good stuff thank you

[@hnkfsh81]

Hi John. What are your thoughts about owning a well-maintained Saturn L-series with the 2.2 L motor?

[@jmueller87]

hnkfsh81 can’t go wrong!

[@williamharrop2147]

Only problem is the MISERABLE, badly designed driver seat. Have tried the various diy fixes, but they keep failing.

[@billybonghoardin]

Thank you sooooooooo much for this video

[@minnesotamadetexasraised3425]

I have a question how do you replace a light bulb on the license plate if anyone knows that owns is Saturn L200 2001 please let me I've replaced a lot of license plate bulbs on other cars but this car seems confusing not sure if I have to take the whole back light panel off or do I just pull really hard on the bug inside the truck don't want to break anything

[@Peacenlovesoul]

what are the names of the tools he used in video

[@hugh3rdof5]

changed my rating to "dislike," as you rather unhelpfully did not mention that the 32mm socket needs to be half-height. (at least on my new-to-me 2002 L100) I went and made a special trip to H/F, picked up the standard 32 mm socket.... brought it home, and FAIL, toooo thick and tall. (resulting in an impossible angle to grip the filter cap) Upon looking closer at your video, appears your deeper well socket wasn't a particularly good fit either, but just enough apparently for you. But alas, time wasting non-advice for the unaware like me. (ps, also wasn't impressed by the stubborn recommendation to use the low-end, china-made ac/delco filter, simply because it has the illusion of being oem, never mind you're using the high end mobil 1 .... When I pay up for the better oil, then surely go for a better filter. (the world of filters has changed a bit since 2002.... )

[@80swasthebestest]

Getting ready to do this on my daughter's Saturn. Is there a reason for not using ramps?

[@80swasthebestest]

I've heard by some to keep the car as level as possible when changing oil

[@ostelloslick6357]

Awesome Video Thx...

[@LastTrumpRevelation]
