Alright, so my engine is officially 222k (It was nice seeing it go past 222,222 lol) so lessee...
Pretty much, it seems like the engine is pretty bad right now. Timing belt broke on me and other radiator cracked on me and bunch of other stuff before I even got the car. But lets see...Engine runs, just can't "Red Line" no more and can't push as hard as it used to before the timing belt. My dad is planning on purchasing a new engine for it (well used engine) honestly, I really want a new car (240SX) but this is what gets me from point A to point B.
Here's my question...
It's been 2500+ miles after I last changed the oil. 222k miles is pretty bad and my bro used to say to change the oil every 3k miles. Everytime I change the oil, I press that one button on the dashboard to reset the miles so everytime it resets 3x it means it hit 3k miles.
Should I put oil just to make it last? or do a full oil change? Also, I don't know much about cars so pretty much, it's been a while with a air filter, brake fluid, power steering fluid and others which I don't know.
Can someone help me with the oil thing and what are the regular maintenance that I have to do to make sure the car runs good?
