OK--I know about the propensity for these engines to consume/burn oil. Just got a low mile (less than 70K), one owner '02 SC2 for one of my kids. Does not use much oil at this point, but I am wanting to know opinions of those who have experience maintaining one of these. Do these engines like thick or thin oil to keep them from consuming? Conventional or syn? What brand etc? Dont' know much about what was used up to this point other than it was maintained regularly at a quickie lube place that generally uses PYB. I know some engines do better as far as usage on some brands/types than others and I have no experience with a Saturn before. Vehicle will be used to commute 25 miles one way most of the time about 4 days a week. Vehicle runs very well and does not seem to have any issues at this point. Any input is appreciated.
