The 2005 Saturn Ion uses Dex-Cool® orange coolant, which is an extended-life antifreeze designed for GM vehicles. It's important to maintain the proper coolant mixture, typically a 50/50 blend of coolant and distilled water, to ensure optimal engine performance and prevent corrosion. Always check the owner's manual or consult a professional for specific recommendations regarding coolant types and maintenance.
For a 2007 Saturn Ion, it is recommended to use a Dex-Cool coolant, which is an orange-colored antifreeze specifically designed for GM vehicles. Ensure that the coolant meets the ASTM D3306 or D4985 specifications. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and to ensure proper mixing ratios if using concentrated coolant.
It's the same kind as a 2004 Red Line model.
There isn't one. You refill the coolant with by putting more dexcool (DO NOT USE THE GREEN STUFF (ethalene glycol) ) in the coolant overflow bottle.
The coolant capacity for a Saturn Ion is typically around 7.5 to 9 quarts (approximately 7 to 8.5 liters), depending on the specific model year and engine type. It's important to check the owner's manual or service documentation for the exact specifications for your particular vehicle. Always ensure to use the recommended coolant type for optimal performance.
There is no timing belt. Saturn Ion's use a timing chain.

The 2006 Saturn Ion 3 typically requires about 6.5 quarts (or approximately 6.2 liters) of coolant when the system is completely drained and refilled. It's important to use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water for optimal performance and protection against freezing and overheating. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific recommendations and check the coolant level regularly.

To add antifreeze to a Saturn Ion, locate the coolant reservoir, which is typically a translucent plastic tank near the engine. The reservoir cap is usually labeled with a coolant symbol. Make sure the engine is cool before opening the cap, then pour the appropriate antifreeze mixture into the reservoir until it reaches the "full" line. Always check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations regarding the type of antifreeze to use.

All Saturn Ions use Ecotec engines, which use a timing chain.
