Saturn Ions use a cartridge oil filter. Looking at the engine its to the right, there is a black plactic cylinder about three inches in dyamiter with a plastic bolt head on it. Just use an adjustable wench to remove the black cap. The filter will be attached and it just pops off and the new one will pop in.

To remove the oil filter on a 2004 Saturn vue 2.2l. when you open the hood right in between the radiator and motor on the right side. You will see a big black plastic cap with a 1-1/4" socket on top. it has a internal oil filter. just twist the cap off and replace the oil filter and tighten cap back on.
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
I have a 2004 Ion and get between 30 and 32 mpg, after and oil change and new air filter. I have a 2004 Ion and get between 30 and 32 mpg, after and oil change and new air filter.
I do not know if the 2009 vibe has the same location as the 2004, but on my 2004 vibe the oil filter is between the bumper and the engine, but is above the oil pan. It is visible from both above and below and will likely be a white or blue cannister about the width of a soda can but somewhat shorter.
Saturn recommends changing oil filter every 6000 to 12000 miles. Most mechanics recommend changing the oil filter with every oil change.
