I have a 95 sl2 and have been told and read a report online that said
the 95 burns oil because saturn designed something wrong with the
engine but wont admit they did. Ive found that synthetic oil and
synthetic lucas oil treatment works very well

 

Saturns are oil burners, use a heaver weight oil. 10w-40 and some kind of additive.

 

I have a 92 SL2 and it does the same thing. I did what stevestar99 suggested. It did lower the consumption a little bit but not by much. Now I just come to term with it.

 

So what causes this and what can be done to fix it ?Because this totally describes my problem.-thanks

I have a 97sc2 and have never had that problem with the oil. i do ride the car a little hard and that still makes no difference. Get it checked out by a mechanic it could be that you either have a leak somewere or that your engine is not properly mixing everything.

 

I have the same problem with my '95 sl2, but I noticed the other day when I was changing my spark plugs that there was oil covering 2 of the plugs inside the head. I was told that I have to take of the head, clean and put some kind of new seal on. I'mdont know cars to well, just lurning as things break on my Saturn.[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

 

I believe that with the high temperatures found in the catalytic converter- oil burning is not as noticeable at the tail pipe. With that said you still should see blue smoke in your rear view mirror when you excellerate from a standing position especially with the motor not fully warmed up.
