Driving/maintaining a 1997 Chrysler LHS

Visen · 2003-10-14T02:09:56+00:00

Hello,I purchased a '97 LHS with 66k miles on it. The car seems to be in pretty goodshape. I got it from a dealership who didn't have any history of thecar or maintenance records. After running carfax on the VIN I found out thatit was initially leased by a rental car company and after that changed 2 owners.I was thinking about changing transmission fluid, but was told by the dealer thatit might not be a good idea and that it could damage the transmission since wedon'tknwo in what state it is (it does shift well). Is there any truth to this?Since I don't know what kind of maintenance was done to this car before, couldsomeone suggest what should I tell the mechanic to inspect when I bring it there(this is not the dealer mechanic as I managed to negotiate a really low pricewhichin turn cancelled any warranty on the car)?

To clear something up from earlier threads. I am a dealer/distributor of AMSOIL. I do not pay AMSOIL to link to my web site. I receive a commision from any sales generated from my web site. I am a little confused as why you would think that they would.

I will admit that I do not know everything about all the AMSOIL products since I am a new dealer.

As I said before you bring up some interesting questions that I would like to know the answers to. Maybe together we can find them.
