Saturn Ion3 Engine Oil and Body Paint

Saturn Ion3 Engine Oil type can be found on the engine cover: 5W-30.

The letter "W" stands for "Winter" or cold-start viscosity. Its value can be 0, 5, 10, 15, or 25. Here its value is "5", which is below 0'C.  A value of "10" is about 0'C. In Hawaii, the temperature rarely drops to 0'C, so 10W is adequate.

The second number "30" here means how thick the oil is. More recent vehicles use less thick oil, such that the value can be "20".

Saturn Ion3 Paint color code can be found in its trunk. E.g., "13 9566 WA9566" for Sebring Silver Metallic.

Almost all vehicle's paint color can be found at AutomotiveTouchup.com. So you can order from this site to fix any small body paint damage of your car. The order usually will contain a touch up paint and a clear-coat at minimal, plus any additional material. A touch up pen is easy to use but may be a little more expensive than bottle paint.
