its not a conventional oil filter, its a canister type. Look down about 20 inch's from the oil fill opening next to the manifold. You will nee a 32mm socket to open the cam (its black plastic) hope this helps
To change the oil filter on a 2008 2.4L Vue or Sky you need a special short 32mm (1.25in) socket with a 3/8 in drive. Here is a package that I found on eBay for the filter element and socket. Good luck! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GM-oil-filter-&-socket-wrench-32mm-Saturn-L-LS-LW-Vue-_W0QQitemZ120330902655QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20081109?IMSfp=TL0811091110006r29122
4.5 quarts with oil/filter change.
under the hood
on the front of the motor on the bottom there is a metal cylinder with a bolt head on it. its a "drop in filter" you have to have a 24mm to get it off then just pull the filter out.
I have a 4 cylinder and I just bought a fram CH9018.
On the 2002 Vue with the v6 engine, the sensor is on the side of the engine. The sensor is right beside of the oil filter.
The oil filter is located on the right side front of engine under a black cap
The 2.2L Saturn Vue uses a cartridge filter that installs to the right of the intake manifold underneath a black cap. The cap is removed with a 1-1/4" socket. The oil filter I use is Bosch #3324. The 3.5L used a Honda drivetrain and I'm not sure what the filter is for that.
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.
It is important to know how many quarts of oil to purchase when making an oil change on a car. In a 2006 Saturn Vue, with an oil filter change a car needs 4 1/2 quarts of engine oil.
The correct amount of oil to put in a Saturn Vue, is 4 gallons of 40w-50..
With a 3/8 drive ratchet. It is located at the front of the Motor just crawl under the front of the vue and look up. It is a canister type filter.
