SOURCE: 2003 Saturn LW300 3.0V6 engine light came on,

Does the code reader power up? If not, check the fuses. OBD II ports supply power to the code reader. Typically GM uses the cigarette lighter fuse to power the OBD II port on their vehicles (could share a fuse with somthing else, but I doubt it). Good luck!

SOURCE: oil leaking into cooling system but no coolant in

Looks like a head gasket failure. Oil is escaping out of the engine and within the engine into the coolant passageways. The oil pressure system is run at higher pressure than the coolant pressure and fortunately this has so far kept the water from entering the oil and crankcase. I have no faith at all in any after-market product that claims it can repair leaks by simply adding it to the coolant or oil and taking a head off is not a trivial task. It may also be that the head has warped (this would also cause the leak) and this in turn will require it to be re-machined. Head gaskets are not expensive but due to the work involved this could be one occasion when a visit to a machine shop is the best option.

Using designated pry points to break loose the seal. Bump the pan with a rubber mallet to loosen the pan from the engine block.

I just changed the oil in my vue and don't know how to reset the change oil light

If you open the hood and pull the fuse panel cover. With the ignition switched on (key on, engine off), press the red button in the underhood fuse panel for at least 5 whole seconds. The may flash a few times but then go off. Now you're reset.

2003 Saturn LW300 3.0V6 engine light is on. Hooked up a code reader and the reader was not able to ''link up'', I checked connections and tried several more times with no results. Are there any other...

I have this model Saturn (2003 LW300), and bought a code reader off Ebay. Make sure it is a compatible "OBD2" type, and plug is seated firmly with ignition switch off. Then turn on ignition without starting car. Press "Enter" or something on reader to start it and it should work.

How do i reset the oil light on a 03 saturn vue? i did the turn the key and press the gas peddle 3 times and that didn't work.

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.
