I have a 95 SL1 with a major oil burning problem. The smoke is blue so i'm thinking the rings are bad and not the valve guides. I tried a piston ring soak and that worked for awhile but i'm thinking about putting new rings in it. I did a cavalier years ago without pulling the engine can the saturn be done the same way? I'm looking to do this cheap because i'ts a beater car. What do you guys think? .........Thanks

I'd try a few more ring soakings before i went to the trouble of replacing the rings.
If it's a beater, I'd try "no-smoking syrup" in the oil and be done with it.
I had some Bosch Platinum pluga that dropped their insulators into the engine and scored the walls. I ran syrup for a couple of years.

Well I changed the oil the other night. I put in 15w40 rotella and so far so good. Very little smoke if any.I will let you guys know if it changes back Thanks for the reply

How much does it burn. Lets say something like a quart every 300 miles or what. I bought my 95 for 400 bucks and it was burning then and I put about 30,000 miles on it and i'd like to say it gets 300 miles per quart but that is actually pushing it.

It was burning a quart every 300 miles smoking real bad. I used to put everyones drain oil in it. Now its not burning much at all with the rotella.
