It is very hard for fuel and oil to mix. Unless by sabotage, check the color of your oil, do not go by smell. Fuel is a byproduct of oil. If you oil has not been changed in proper intervals you will still have some discoloration but if fuel was added to oil you would be seeing a grayish color on your dipstick. Fuel destroys the viscosity of oil and causes internal breakdown of engine bearings.

good evening and welcome to fixya
sounds like you might have an issue with your oil pump losing pressure. if there are no rattles knock or clangs and the engine is not burning oil, make sure to check the dipstick for signs of a glittery metal substance that could be signs also of the engine having issues then the pump is probably your issue. there is a spring inside the pump that you can actually take out and change for a heavier spring that would actually stop this but it is easier to swap in a new oil pump. i do have one question for you though, is this correct an s-10 blazer with a 350 in it? if so has the engine been built at all or is it stock? once you swap the pump go back to running a 10w 40 oil the motor will run better on that and easier, yes your right though the heavier oil does help but if everything is good then it will hender power unless the engine is fairly well built. let me know and i will help you solve your issue. thnak you

Misnikie32 . .. I just had the same problem around the time you figured out your problem and I just got it fixed yesterday. For almost 3 weeks I had starting problems and I constantly smelled gas. The problem is a safety issue and the car needs to be recalled. The hose that is connected to the fuel pump is cracked. Since the hose is incorporated with the fuel pump, the entire mechanism needs to be changed. Look at spending about 700.00 . I informed saturn and told them my life was at danger. Please contact them on their website and goto your state's attorney general and launch a complaint, as well as the office of defective investigations and the NTSAB (google them). This needs to be brought to their attention and all owners of this car. I googled this and many other people are having this problem. Some are even on this forum. PLEASE DO THIS ! ! ! !

Most likely the oil pressure sensor is bad. Its located in the very rear of engine on top of bell housing area.

I had the SAME problem...do you smell any fuel smells? Is your car getting less MPG and is does it have less excelleration? It is the Fuel Injector(s)...
Most likely...one or more has gone bad, I believe this is yet another common problem with the Saturn ION...hhhhmmmm I wonder why they went out of business...
