The are a number of types of wrenches, a strap wrench is universal. The messy way is to hammer a screwdriver into it near the bottom end and turn it, but ONLY if it is a metal can disposable filter. The Vue has three engine types.
If it's like every other 2.2 front wheel drive Saturn, it should be at the bottom front of the engine, away from the serpentine belt side.
Look under the car, right side. It should be fairly obvious .
Please disconnect the battery before attempting any removal.
With all the electronic's on vehicle's the first place to start would be to hook up a scan tool that can pull code's from all the modules on the vehicle ! The wrench light on ,code's are stored in the BCM ,body control module . If you don't know that your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop. Nothing your going to be able to do .
If your check engine light is on use DB2 monitor to check code, replace sensor indicated. Check fuel filter if more than 30,000 miles, Could be ignition problem or weak fuel pump
The procedure you used is for the 2006 > Vue, and will not work on your 2003. For the 2002-2005 Saturn Vue V4 or V6 - Under the hood you will see a black fuse box behind the battery. Open it up and you will see a red button, it is small and looks like a fuse but on the top it will say Oil-Res. Turn on the ignition & press and hold that button for about 10 seconds. You may want to have a friend sit in the driver's seat and watch for the indicator to start flashing, which indicates you've activated the reset. Turn off the ignition and that will reset the Oil light.
