How well do you maintain it? The Saturn engine is well engineered and is capable of running several hundred thousand miles if you keep the fluids full and change the lubricant at the proper intervals using a high quality oil. Most machine shops will recommend full synthetic if you want an engine to last. But it's up to the owner.
Basically, never. It will last as long as the rest of the engine.Basically, never. It will last as long as the rest of the engine.
The V6 L series engine uses a timing belt, which must be replaced every 100,000 miles. The 4 cylinder Saturn engines use a timing chain that typically does not need replacement until you have a reason to remove the cylinder head.
