For the do it yourselfers just fyi, my local Discount Auto Parts just told me that they will be soon carrying the oil cartridges for the ecotec / Saturns. Does anybody know of other places where one can also buy these cartridges? Also any online places? Thanks.

Where do you live again? Fl? There are stores all over where I live like Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone. Usually they use different names or are tied to other chains in other states. Advance is tied to a bunch of others but I cant remember any of the names. Whats some of the ones in your area? The two I mentioned will ship orders.
Just got back from Wal-Mart
They have the Fram 9018. That is either the original French filter, or now a filter that is made in the UK.
They also have their own brand, Super Tech, I believe with a 9018 filter. This one was made in Indonesia.
So, I was able to get two different (French and British) Fram filters or a Wal-Mart brand (Super Tech) all for the 2.2 Liter Ecotec engine.
So, it looks as if that filter is becoming widely available.
Great! I live in S. FL, and the local stores are just beginning to stock up. Gues they are a bit behind the times here, lol.

In Kansas City they are available at Wal-Mart (Fram) and AutoZone as well as Advanced (Western Auto / Parts America...or whatever it will be called next year...)
The prices here are strangely higher at all the other locations than they are at the dealership! That, to me, is a first!
