Reminds me of one we did when I first started on my own. About the same deal,lady came in,said car quit running ? We push the car in the bay,relatively low miles(less than 50K) hook up the jumper pack and a nice solid clunk out of the starter ? Grab a breaker bar,and the motor absolutely will not turn ? Jack it up,pull the drain plug and nothing ?? Well,after about 10 mins a big glunk of brown goo plops out !!! Get on the phone,call the lady,and ask her when she changed the oil last ? Never !!! Salesman told her car would need no "major" service til 100K,neglected to mention the part about rotate tires/air filter/oil change ! Expensive lesson,we had to drop the whole assy out as we could NOT rotate the engine enough to seperate the trans/converter bolts ! Wished I had a digital camera back then,the valve covers were solid black tar,and the engine srunk like a burned up rear diff !

LOL. Poor, mis-informed lady!
I did a Toyota Corolla that had 90k on it and still had the original filter on it. Good stuff.
If that Saturn had a SATURN engine in it, instead of a HONDA enigne...maybe it would have lasted longer! ;D
