It is located un the hood. You have to take the top motor cover off doing so, Just remove the oil cap and pull up on the plastic cover. Then look on the right side of the intake manifold just on the edge of it you will see a 32mm Nut.. Unscrew that cap off and it is a drop in oil filter remove and discard the filter and replace the o-ring located on the cap. The O-ring is sold with the filter they run about $20 at Advance Auto. Hope this help and good luck.
Where is the transmission filter location on a 2003 Saturn Ion

Under the top cover...there is a black cap. Use either a wrench or a set of channel locks to open that up. The canister filter goes in there.

Place a drip pan below of the oil filter. Attach an oil filter wrench to the filter. Turn the wrench to the left. When the oil filter is loose turn with your hand until it comes off.
How do you change the fuel filter on a Saturn Ion?" this might sound funny, but it's under the hood. it don't look like the oil filter your use to buying. look for a round cylinder type part with a large plastic nut. That's the oil filter, the fuel filter is under the car passenger side rear. holy crap who the hell said the oil filter is the fuel filter?
Use 10W-30, any brand, pending on mileage
Either the cap is cracked, which you will need a new one from the dealer. Or you forgot the o ring when installing the new filter
