Rusting, faded conversion van.
I'll sell it to ya cheap--if interested, let me know.
Driven very infrequently/sporadically.
Let's say that I've put only 5--10 thousand miles (more or less) on it since the last oil change and the air filter replcement at least 2 years ago.
Please make me feel bad by speculating about what damage I'm doing to it.
I'm kinduv reluctant to change the oil.
Why?
Well, many years ago, I had this terrific '68 VW campmobile van.
I don't know if the transmission oil was ever changed by its first owner, while I did have it changed.
Well, of course, that cost me a transmission (over a thousand bucks) by having the fluid changed.
Yes, I realize that engine oil changing and trans oil changing aren't equal.
Nevertheless, I'm ... superstitious if not foolishly dumb.
If I put some garlic tablets down the oil thing, will that ward-off something bad when I get it changed?
Don't answer the above; but please tell me if there's something I should do (maybe pour something into it) before I get it changed, such as STP or Marvel Mystery?.
I may have already done this some months ago (magic marvel stuff)--no, that was in another junker i was driving, though it didn't seem to help it.
It's a 1998 Daewoo Nubira presently sitting on my drive way with a very questionable trans-axel.
