It might be too late, but just in case it isn't, I can tell you that the original saturn engines are real harsh on oil. 3k is too long an interval, the oil is trashed by then, 2k is a more realistic number. So go get yourself 4 qts of the freshness and see if that helps.

^you can't add your wages, hourly, unless your working all those jobs at the exact same moment. thats just basic math rules.

Is it dual overhead cams? The Saturns are notorious for the timing belt. I had an Sl2 which I did a ton of work on and still got rid of it... lol

I've had two sohc saturn sl1's, and I'm fairly certain that engine contains a chain not a belt. The lubricity of the oil would still play a role in the prevention of failure, but I think your real problem lies elsewhere, due to thrashed saturn oil as I call it or you dogging it at high rpms. Or a combination of both.

It means that you spent money at a shop that didn't put enough oil in when you should have changed your oil yourself, saved money, and known that oil level was good before you beating the shizz outts of it.
