if you have the 4cyl i can help i have done that next time ad more info to help with your answer. the oil filter is located on the front of the engine on the driver side of the exhaust. you look under the number 4 cyl exhuast and you will see a big ring with a nut in the middle of it. i think it was a 15/16 or something big like that you will need a skinny extension to get past the exhuast. once you get the cover off the oil filter will be stuck inside the housing for a better term. you pull the filter out and replace use your fingers putting back on the cover and be careful not to cross the threads if it goes on hard back it off and start over till you get it almost all the way back on then using the socket turn it snug dont need to tigten it like a tire
twist it counter clockwise. A oil filter remval tool may be needed
You will need 5 quarts to change the oil and filter in a Saturn.
The Oil Filter on this car is what is called a "clip-in" filter the way you remove it is to simply have the correct sized wrench, and remove the Cap and the filter should come with it.
Hi A 2003 holds five quarts with the oil filter
Looking at the motor, it is directly in front. It looks like a power steering pump reservoir canister but is the oil cartridge filter housing.
Which filter housing? Air filter, oil filter, fuel filter?
Oil filter
If you look at the intake manifold, it is to the immediate right of the manifold. You will see a nut on a cap. That cap covers the oil filter housing.
The 2002 Saturn SL typically requires about 4.5 quarts of oil when using a standard oil filter. If you are using a larger filter, it may take up to 5 quarts. Always check your owner's manual for the most accurate specifications and recommendations.
couple of inches behind oil filter housing
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.
check that the O ring was replaced when oil filter was changed. id O ring is good and filter is tight, and housing still leaking, replace filter housing
