2008 Saturn Vue Hybrid - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How to fix code p0442
On your Saturn it is likely a bad or loose fuel cap. Is there a lot of rust around the filler neck? If so try carefully removing it and then wiping the rubber gasket of the fuel cap with a bit of grease. Once you reset the code you need to drive the Vue for a a cycle in order to reset the sensor even though you have cleared the OBD code with a code reader.
Key will not physically unlock door only with
if your key worked before but doesn't now your probably looking at a worn out lock cylinder or a worn out key. more than likely its the lock cylinder. you can buy a replacement lock cylinder but it will have to be keyed to match the original key by a locksmith or a knowledgeable parts guy may know how
Oil pressure light remained on after an oil change.
This can be a malfunction ot this can be serious, First check vehicle and make sure there is oil in this vehicle. If there is oil make sure its at the right level NOT low or NOT high but just where it should be on dipstick. If there is low or NO oil on dipstick make sure you have a receipt from that oil change place just in case there is damage to your engine. just because this is a practically new vehicle I would recommend that you take it back to Saturn and get this look at, or the other option if the level is good is to take off the battery positive lead for at least 10 minutes. (IF YOU HAVE A CODED RADIO IN THIS VEHICLE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE CODE BEFORE DOING THIS PLEASE) and that should reset the oil pressure light. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA
Poor gas mileage in a 2008 Saturn Hybrid Vue
You are always going to get worse gas mileage with E85 than regualr gasoline. My sister has a colbalt and she mixes 1/2 gas and 1/2 e85. The dealer told her she could do this to improve mileage. I would not try it in your car unless you check with the dealer first, it could mess your engine up if you do it. If you are getting that mileage with gasoline, then i would change spark plugs to bosch platnium 2 or something that allows more spark.
Oil Filter
First which engine do you have? If you have the Ecotec 2.4 4 cylinder you should be able to use a 32 millimeter socket with an extension. Some oil will run off of the filter but should not be real hot. Drain all of the oil from the engine first. Chilton's is a good manuel to use.
Where is the oil filter on a 2006 Saturn Vue?
which engine is it. and USA car?
did you even look first. seems not to me.
why not go to Valvoline oil changers, and let them do the mess.
no split oil.
here it is, me reading your manual < LOST IT:

2008 Saturn Vue XE 3.5. The odometer, the radio and gauges don't work and the A/C buttons are flashing and the alarm won't activate by the key fob.
Question edited for clarity
Take it to a good local auto-electrician as advised.

Have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes , before you start playing with thing's . All the gauge setting information comes to the instrument cluster over serial data network GM Class 2 from the PCM/ECM engine computer . Could have U codes stored, Do you know anything about serial data networks or U codes ? If not, do yourself a favor an have a qualified repair shop check it.

Fuel Gauge
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level based on information from the engine control module (ECM). The engine control module (ECM) calculates the fuel level based on information from the fuel level sensor. The engine control module (ECM) sends the fuel level information to the body control module (BCM) via the serial data circuit. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level as received from the BCM. The fuel gage defaults to E (empty) if:
• The ECM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
• The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
When the fuel level is less than a pre-determined value, the Low Fuel indicator message illuminates.
Speedometer
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed based on information from the engine control module (ECM). The engine control module (ECM) calculates the vehicle speed from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) input. The ECM sends a serial data message to the BCM indicating the vehicle speed. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed as received from the BCM via serial data circuit.
The speedometer defaults to 0 km/h (0 mph) when any of the following occur:
• The ECM detects a malfunction in the vehicle speed sensor.
• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
• The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
