After changing the engine oil, reset the system by doing the following: 1. Press and release the trip/reset button until the OIL LIFE message is displayed. 2. Then press and hold the trip/reset button until a chime sounds five times, and RESET is displayed in the message center. When the system is reset, the odometer will again be displayed in the message center. 3. Turn the ignition key to LOCK. If the CHG OIL message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure. Your vehicle has a unique oil filter element. When installing the filler cap do not exceed 18 lb-ft (25 Y). Inspect the condition of the O-ring and replace if damaged. See your Saturn retailer for additional information. What to Do with Used Oil Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products. Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of used oil, ask your retailer, a service station or a local recycling center for help. 289
