Thanks for the info. Welcome to the wonderful world of Saturns! I have found that synthetics seem to burn off a little less quick than conventional oils. If you haven't already, change to the fixed orifice PCV valve to help oil consumption a little. Also check on your engine coolant temp sensor to make sure it is not the plastic one, but the updated brass one. Temp should read at about the 1/2 mark on your gauge in case you didn't already know... Many Saturns seem to ride at 1/4 due to blown open T-stats.
