AMSOIL the Great Motor Oil
and why you should be using it in your Saturn
With wear scar comparisons like this, why would you even think about using any other motor oil except Amsoil!? So many people use Mobil 1, which didn't start selling synthetic oil until YEARS after Amsoil pioneered it. My question is, WHY?! After seeing the independent wear scar tests, why on Earth would you even think about using Mobil 1? Notice how they never publicize the wear scar testing data for their oils? They do nothing but spend millions of dollars on fancy advertising. HYPE and ENDORSEMENTS DO NOT PROTECT ENGINES the way Amsoil does.
When you buy conventional oil from the local auto part store, YOU ARE SENDING MONEY OVERSEAS for the crude oil to make that oil. AMSOIL IS MADE IN THE USA and is 100% SYNTHETIC OIL. AMSOIL is not made from crude oil taken from Iraq or any other country.
I hear people say Amsoil is expensive. That is so far from the truth, that it's not even funny. How can something that lasts up to 11x longer cost more? When you sit down and do the math and figure in your time and multiple trips to the store or the local Quick Lube, Amsoil can cost about 1/6th of what you're paying now for oil changes.
With the best protection on the market, second to none, and with the extended oil drains of 1 year or 35,000 miles before you have to drain the oil, you're not saving a single dime with that cheap oil in the local auto part stores. All you're doing is further damage to your engine by using anything that produces a higher wear scar. Plus the extra fuel economy you get from switching to Amsoil will help pay for itself!

Click HERE to see a picture of what Amsoil looks like with over 6,000 miles on it taken from a 2004 Saturn Vue V6. If your oil doesn't look this clean, you REALLY need to start using Amsoil.
Using Amsoil and filters from Amsoil, doing oil
changes for an entire year in a Saturn Ion or Saturn
Vue is one of the easiest oil changes
you can do of any car due to the new filter element
and the easy access location on top of the engine.
Not only is the Ecotec engine easy to maintain,
once you start using Amsoil motor oil and filters
for a year, you'll never want to step foot in another
quick lube again! Not only is the qualify of Amsoil
motor oil far superior than what you'll get at a
quick lube shop, but once you add up what you're
paying all year for the quick lube, you'll see that
using Amsoil may end up costing you probably 1/2
or less you're paying now! And your engine will
last LONGER with Amsoil and get better fuel economy!
The Amsoil savings and convenience are just too
much to ignore, especially with the rising cost
of gas and oil changes.
After draining your used motor oil,
use either the Amsoil 5W30 (Product code ASL-QT)
or 0W30
(Product code SSO-QT)
motor oil. The oil filter you need which is made
to fit into an Ecotec 2.2 engine is the Wix
57082.
(Write that # down to give to an operator to order
this special filter when calling the number in the
catalog or by calling right now to order on the
top left of the screen.) Or click here to order now. Once you're in the store, type in "57082" to order from the shopping cart where it says "SEARCH".
Unlike conventional motor oil which
has a short life span of a typical, 3,000 to 5,000
miles, Amsoil's 5W30 ASL-QT
(write that # down as well) oil is guaranteed
to last up to 12 months or 25,000
miles.
If you want more protection or drive
farther per year, it is recommended that you use
Amsoil
0W30 TSO-QT
(also write down this # if you want to use this
oil instead) which is guaranteed to last up to 12
months or 35,000 miles.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
When your "OIL CHANGE" indicator lights up on the dash, you do
not need to drain Amsoil until it has reached
the end of its life span. All you need to do is
swap out the 57082 filter and top
off the oil with the tiny bit that you lose.
Example: if you drive 21,000 miles per year, you'd
only need to use about 7 quarts of oil and 7 filters
(or maybe less filters depending on your driving
habits) for the entire year in a Saturn. 6 quarts
to fill the crank case and about 1 oil filter every
3,000 to 7,000 miles depending on your driving habits
and how often your oil change indicator
comes on.

Total for year for non-synthetic
oil. OUCH! |
$188.93* |
Plus 1 extra quart for top off of $6.35 |
$94.10* |
In this example you save $94.83
using a much higher quality oil. This figure
does not include the 3 to 5% in fuel economy
savings. If you factor gasoline at $2.00 per
gallon and your vehicle averages 30 M.P.G.,
21,000 miles would require approximately 700
gallons of fuel for the year. At only 3% fuel
savings, that would be about 21 gallons or
$42 in fuel savings. Also not factoring in
longer engine life or longer spark plug life.
It does not make any sense to keep paying
more money for a lesser quality oil. So why
keep doing it?
And if you sign up as a preferred
customer, the cost of Amsoil
IS EVEN CHEAPER!!
And if you still like to keep using cheap
conventional motor oil instead
of Amsoil, then consider the headaches that
go along with using cheap oil that turns into
sludge and makes your engine run hot when
the additives quickly burn up. Your engine
has more friction, runs hotter and cooks the
spark plugs, rubber seals and gaskets all
over the place from the added heat. There's
just no benefits from doing frequent oil changes
with lower quality, non-synthetic oil. It
makes no sense to keep using them. Conventional
oil is OLD technology prior to the 1970's,
so why use it? Amsoil was available with 25,000
mile oil changes back in 1972! That's over
30 years and millions of miles with tons of
satisfied customers.
Ecotec 2.2 requires 6 quarts
of oil to fill for 2004. 2003 models may require only 5 quarts.

Amsoil 0W30
Severe Service pictured above. Lasts up to 35,000
miles.
Use 32mm socket (about $6-7 bucks from Sears)
Removing factory oil filter. Hardly any mess. Easy
to remove. The whole process or removing and
changing the filter takes an easy 2 to 3 minutes. Using Amsoil, changing the filter is all you'll have to worry about all year. No waiting in lines at the Quick lube. No more price guaging as they over charge you for the cheap oil they'll put in your car where conventional oil will easily build up sludge compared to Amsoil. Just change Amsoil only ONCE PER YEAR and only change the oil filters when the indicator on your dash tells you to (except for Saturn Vue using the SDF filter). After changing the filter, reset the dash indicator as indicated in the owner's manual.
For Saturn Ion or Vue Ecotec 2.2 order product code
57082. Amsoil used to carry Hastings filters and now only carries Wix. Wix is the number 1 filter used in Nascar. This is why Amsoil chose to supplement their line with Wix where Amsoil filters were not available.
To buy this filter now, click the BUY NOW button seen below. When you get to the next page, type in "57082" in the search box.
2004 Saturn Vue V6 - Same engine as in Honda Passport and Acura MDX:
For the 2004-2005 Saturn Vue 3.5L Oil Filter use Amsoil EaO13 .
Look for the filter on the passenger side under the vehicle. To order this SDF-13 filter and Amsoil,
Once in the store, type in: EaO13 for the filter and then type in SSOQT for the oil at the search bar.
Click HERE to see a picture of my dipstick with over 6,000 miles on the oil. This is why it's so important to use Amsoil if you want your engine to last.
The Amsoil EaO13 oil filter is designed to last up to 1 year or 25,000 miles whichever comes first. To be used with Amsoil fully synthetic oil. It's a lot easier to use a socket as seen above similar to removing the lid on top of the Ecotec 4 cylinder engines.
To order the Amsoil 0W-30 oil and either EaO13 filters (for V6 Vue) or 57082 filters (for Ecotec engine) call 1-800-956-5695. Give operator client ID # 1102880.
