It's already turned into a money pit. I would take this as a learning experience and get rid of it before it totally eats you out of house and home.
Just curious, Chuck Tobias.
Could that motor or any motor run for 100k miles without changing the oil?
I doubt it. Maybe this one did have one or two oil changes along the way to get that far.
I agree with Chuck Tobias.
If the previous owner(s) neglected changing the engine oil, it is likely that they neglected servicing the transmission fluid, radiator fluid, etc.
