The correct transmission fluid to use in an L300 Saturn is Dexron III. The capacity for a complete change is about 6.75 quarts.
A 1996 Saturn vehicle will only use R134A refrigerant. I was a Saturn technician for years in Saturn Dealerships.
The only refrigerant you can legally use in your 2001 Saturn would be the 134-A
