Draining and Refilling Engine Oil

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: When changing the oil on vehicles equipped with L61 engine, remove the oil fill cap and/or the oil filter cap prior to removing the oil pan drain plug.

Keeping the caps in place may create a vacuum effect that can slow the draining process. Allow sufficient time for thorough draining of the engine oil.
