Conventional oil too, right? Perhaps
premium Kendall synthetic blend? Tire shop's $19.99 oil change? First of all, GM vehicles are equipped with an
Oil Life Monitor, not an
Oil Life Testing System. How exactly does your Saturn check the viscosity and additives in your oil. Does your engine have sensors to detect particles that may have slipped through the filter? Turn on the ignition and press the
information and
reset buttons simultaneously and release. This puts at the personalization menu, right? Keep following... press the information button to scroll through the options until you reach... wait for it...
OIL-LIFE RESET. It's not magical when you have your oil changed and the car doesn't bug you for another one anymore... the technician just reset it for you. Hope that doesn't hurt too bad, but the car isn't as smart as you think. According to Saturn of Fredricksburg, if the oil life monitor was accidently reset, return for service 3,000 miles after your previous service.

Your car's computer monitors engine revs, acceleration, and shift points to determine an estimated oil life (based on your driving habits). Care to see if I'm lying?, drive your car like its a race car and watch that percentage drop faster. Drive like you can barely reach the pedals and you won't have to change your oil for a year! Keep watching that monitor, I'll keep watching my odometer.
No problems from the engine, hunh? Taken it apart lately? Do you have any experience in the automotive field? Probably not going to keep your car long enough to experience the long term effects anyway. It will become someone else's problem, right? Keep 'saving' money on fewer oil changes then... its almost buy-one-get-one-free.
I was merely trying to offer advice. Research a little before you attack me. I'll accept it if I'm mistaken, and apologize for any misinformation, but don't jump down
my throat. I don't know you.
