2000 Saturn LW 'service engine soon light'

The service engine soon light came on in my girlfriends lw a couple days after the change oil light came on. So I figured the 2 must be related. However after changing the oil and resetting the change oil light, the service engine soon light is still on. Is it related to the change oil, and if so how do I reset that light.Or do you think I need to run a diagnostic test and see if it is something more serious.

Under the hood, next to the battery, is a fuse box. Lift the lid (instructions are on the lid) and with the keyswitch on but the engine not running, press and hold the button that says "oil". The book says 5 seconds, but hold it for about 10. If someone is watching the dash lights while you do that, the change oil light should flash briefly.

i think 5w-30 is recommended for your car, you will have to reset the oil light , check the owners manual, if i remembr right turn the key on do not start the engine and depress the gas pedal to the floor three times, have the car scanned for the check engine light

Not sure, I would try with an OBDII scanner. Available at autoparts stores or online at JCwhitney. Good luck.

1999 4 dr sw dohc starts and runs fine for about 10 miles then it just dies could be doing 60 or 25 mph sometimes will start after a minute and other times it takes longer repeats itself

The LW started in 00, if it is a 99 then it is an SW. I would start by replacing the crank sensor which is installed into the rear of the block, behind the starter on the SW. Most likely easier to replace on the LW as they moved the starter to the front of the engine in the 2.2 LW engine. Cheap part.

We changed the fuel pump & fuel filter on a 2000 Saturn LW and it is still sputtering and backfiring. Could that have thrown the timing off?

No, there is valve timing which is position of the valves in relation to the position of the pistons and ignition timing which means when the spark occurs during the compression stroke. Neither of those are affected by replacing a fuel pump or filter. You should have a mechanic look at it before you replace any more parts. Labor can be expensive, but so is replacing parts and still having the same problem.

Change oil, oil filter & air filter for 2000 Saturn LW

That car should use 5W30 oil, check on the filler cap, or owners manual. If you are in freezing weather, use a synthetic oil. The Change oil light is reset by turning the key on, then depressing the gas pedal to the floor 3 times. The Check Engine light is another subject and a repair shop will need to diagnose and recommend repairs. If it has a 3.0 V6 its not that user friendly. the Cadillac Catera uses that engine.
