Is it usual or unsual? I thought Saturn consumed more oil?
Either way I don't see that you have a problem here. Do a prophylactic cylinder soak (with whatever solvent of cleaner you fancy) from time to time followed by a quick flush with MMO, karosene or ATF and oil change.
As for the oil choice, some people developed oil consumption on Mobil 1 and some people did not. A lot of variables. I heard good things about high mileage oils in Saturs.
UNusual. I proof-read my post a few times before submitting it and I still missed that typo.
I know that I don't have a problem but there are a lot of Saturns owners that do. Who knows, my parents' Saturns might eventually become oil burners too someday. I just know that the Saturn owners I spoke with can't/won't do a cylinder soak. Dumping in a long-term cleaner like ESC/MSC seemed like a more practical option for those people.
