A little while after my sister first moved out, she needed to borrow my car for its cargo space while I took hers for a week. It was a 98 Nissan Sentra. This was around 2008. It would barely move. As I was trying to get it up to speed on the interstate, I looked at the sticker on the windshield and saw that the last time the oil was changed was 54,000 miles different than the odometer. In fact, it was the last time I had took it and had it changed when she still lived at home.
Almost 100k miles and about three years since I took it. I had to have it flushed. Once it had fresh oil in it (and regular maintenance) she got another 70k-ish out of it before the timing belt broke and she traded it. What a tough little car.
It's amazing that an engine can survive that. I guess to some extent it depends on the situation - people in hot climates or people who drive their cars hard may not be so lucky. I've certainly seen post-mortem videos of engines that cacked it at about 100K miles and the inside is full of tar.
I new a guy who bought an 80s Volvo for dirt cheap, said oil changes were almost as much as he paid for the car so he never did any, drove that car for four years before it quit... absolutely astonishing.
I mean if the end goal is to say fuck it bc u got other plans for it then I mean... I guess. Still feels like a waste. Like its one thing if the transmission is fucked, or the block cracks outside of regular maintenance, but if ur just gonna trash the thing for the sake of it, might as well pick up smoking cigs and trash urself
It was a heap. The only good thing about it was that it was still running. Rusted to hell, previous owner smoked in it daily, and yeah the transmission was pretty trash. Probably wouldn't have passed inspection had he been pulled over. Damn thing just refused to die easy.
My dad told me about how they used to buy trash vw beetles to get em working just enough to take em in a corner field and intentionally roll em over. How much of that do I believe? 70% but I could see it from ur buddy's pov
There are things I miss from driving an old POS of a car. Not many, and certainly not enough to go get one now. But not giving a damn what happened to it was rad. Neighbor backs into it? No worries man! Can't even find the dent. New stain on the seat? It kinda matches that other one.
I've been hearing problems with head gaskets, why only if you're a dumbass? Poor maintenance? Wrong fluids? Driving like a hoon with the turbo spun up 24/7 makes too much pressure?

At least the car heats up fast in the winter.

That new 200W-3000 oil

On the plus side it also didn't have any leaks or burn oil.

I'm curious what engine and how many miles.

I may not know much about cars, but I take it being able to use your old motor oil to repave your driveway is a bad thing.

I wish they did a magnet test for the left over oil. There must be tons of little metal parts in it.

Spray it with some brake cleaner. I'm sure that will fix it

Ahhh brake cleaner, the one shot does all universal cleaner that also smells like a meadow and is completely safe for plastic and paint!!

I like how you didn't include "lungs" in the "safe for" list XD

I mean it is an “industrial” cleaner. “If

I knew a guy "I paid $80,000 for that car, it shouldn't need oil changes " Spoiler alert: he should have changed the oil.
thismyburnerbutyoucangetdigits
Usually cars at that price point have included maintenance for the warranty period. So Porsche, Mercedes, BMW…etc.

Hard to judge this without knowing how many miles were on it at the time. Or when the last time you took it was.
