It is changed every 100,000 miles at a very hefty cost. My dealer estimated over $1000 to change it. With the extremly poor Kelly Blue book value of any Saturn, I decide to do it myself or trade it in. NEVER EVER buy anything that GM has had any involvement with. Honda, VW, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan and Kia dominate for a reason. They hold resale value and wont bankrupt you with repair costs.

The 4 cylinder Saturn engines used an "Oil bath" timing chain. The V6 Saturn engines used an "external" timing belt.
The SC2 is an 'S' series Saturn, and all 4 cylinder engines of the S series Saturn's used a timing CHAIN rather than a timing belt.

That truck does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain that will last the life of the engine.
Saturns SL series sedans use a timing chain and not a timing belt and do not require replacement. WTf are you talking about do not require replacement what and idiot its called preventative maintenance dude normally will get over 200k out of one though
It should be replaced when it begins making a noticeable noise.
According to the owners manual, for that vehicle the timing belt should be changed at 110,000 miles.
The timing belt should be replaced every 100,000 miles.
The oil pump is ran off the crank and is in the timing cover which requires removing the valve cover and timing cover. Not recommended for the novice mechanic.
