    Are you sure it is oil that you 2002 Saturn SL2 is burning? Oil will generally burn blue, coolant will generally burn white, and excess fuel will generally burn black - in extreme cases to much fuel can also burn white. Please make sure you determine exactly what is causing the excess smoke from the exhaust before making any repairs.
