How much Oil do i put in a 1996 Saturn sl1?

Anywhere from 4-6 quarts from empty if you do an oil change. Just check the dipstick if you haven't done an oil change and just need to add oil and if its half way below the full mark then add a quart, let it sit for a few minutes and check again and add accordingly. If it is a oil change, put on your new filter and add 3 quarts to it, let it sit, check the dipstick and add accordingly until it reaches the full mark. Just don't over fill it, don't add an entire extra quart, that will cause issues and may create leaks from the pressure.

What to do if Saturn clutch switch fail?

1. Place the car in Neutral and set the brake.

2. Remove the wire to the Clutch Safety Switch. Hint, use a small screwdriver to press the detente on the connector.

3. Use a small four inch piece of wire, stripped at both ends, and place one end in each of slot of the connector you just took apart. The car side connector, not the switch side. The wire will make a horse shoe bend.

4. Attempt to start the car. Do not forget to press in the clutch all the way in because you have just removed the clutch SAFETY switch from the system!

5. If the car starts, replace the switch with the correct part as soon as possible.

6. If the car does not start, but appears other wise normal. (power windows, lights, horn, etc..) then the starter is most likely bad.

Why would the serpentine belt squeal on a 1995 Saturn SL1 when you run the AC or Heater?

That's very simple. there two possible conditions, first and foremost, the belt is possibly old and strechted. secondly the tensioner might need to be replaced. starting with the belt try replacing it first, this should solve the problem (as it did with mine) if not, then there's not enough tension on the belt..cbs or your ac compressor is locking up, either short belt the system or replace the compressor

You replaced the engine on a 1995 Saturn SC1 with one from a 1998 Saturn SC1 how do you hook up the temperature sensor since it is not in the same place?

I thought the temp sensor was located above the transmission on the right hand side of the engine just below the lip of the valve cover. I hope the plug is the same, if so, cut the wire and extend it. I know when I replaced mine on my 97 it came with a new sensor and plug with like 2 feet of extra wire. You may want to get a new one as they are pretty inexpensive.

The 95 saturns had two temp sensors and 96+ were OBDII (its smarter and did not need two signals) only requiring one sensor. One for the EGR one for just running. You may have to splice the two lines off of the one sensor.

Will a 1996 1.9 Saturn engine fit a 1999 1.9 dual overhead cam Saturn?

There is no dipstick in the manual transmission. there's a plug on the side of the transmission,just take it out and use your little finger and reach in and see if you can touch the fluid level with your finger if you cant its low or if it comes out when you remove the plug its full,remove the upper plug though not the lower one,and yes some newer transmissions do use transmission fluid instead of thick oil like they use to ,they found out that it cools a lot better and last a lot longer

How do you replace the rear speakers in a 94 Saturn SC2?

All you do is remove your back deck, the three pins on the front behind the seats. Then you can use a small socket or screw driver to remove the speakers. Dont try and remove the plastic panels from the deck. Also, a neat thing to do if your gonna take it off, on the deck there is a 90degree panel area between the speaker covers, try cutting it out an fitting a neon in, it looks pretty sweet if you do it correctly.
