If you look at the front of the engine from the top there is a plastic cover with a 1 1/4'' bolt head that is the oil filter housing the cover has a oring seal on it at times the oring gets torn when installed

SOURCE: cant locate the oil filter or drain plug

the filter should be a cartridge type located underneath the enginecover plastic.it is usually on the right side of engine bay near the front of car.It will have a black plastic hex on the housing it is 1"and a quarter big and probably has a torque spec written on it something like 18 n-m or something.Hope it helps.

SOURCE: change the time 2005 saturn ion

1. Press and hold RCL button
2. While holding RCL button push left side of AUTO/TONE rocker button until correct hour appears
3. While holding RCL button push right side of AUTO/TONE rocker button until correct minute appears
4. Release RCL button when finished

Or if you have an "RDS" (Radio Data System) you can find a radio station which transmits some kind of text (ie the call letters or song name) you can hold the 'RCL' (timeset) button and push the RDS button. It will attempt to read the time from the data stream and set the clock for you. Otherwise it will say something like 'No RDS time set'. you need to tune a station with RDS - it won't scan them for you.

SOURCE: 2004 Saturn Ion oil change

Oil drain plug is its on the back passenger side of the engine out of sight unless you under the car itself .

It's a cartridge filter that goes into a canister.You'll need a 32mm oil filter canister socket to remove the cover to access the filter. You can find it at PepBoys for less than $10 by the other oil change supplies.

    Press the button located in the center of the instrument cluster ONCE. The display should now read "OIL LIFE" instead of vehicleicon1.png mileage.

    I have a 2005 saturn ion and when I was getting my oil changed the guy told me that both axles are leaking fluid, how much does it cost to replace both axles? Oh and it is making a popping sound when I...

    its going to cost what ever the shop tells you. Thats why you get a couple estimates if your that worried about the cost. You dont have to do both at the same time,. Just do the one that is clicking now

    Spark plug replacement

    Plugs are under the coil pack. The black rectangle on top of the valve cover. Remove the plug on the drivers side, and remove the 4, 10mm bolts. Lift up the coil straight up. Will be fairly tough, and your plug wells are in there.
