I’ve heard people who say that you shouldn’t change engine oil at all, cause it’s better for the car. The world is full of this kind of people 🙂
In my opinion every oil or fluid should be changed, because it wears out.
Mercedes Benz and Volvo had a ‘sealed for life’ policy about their A/T. But it backfired at them. Now Mecedes recommends fluid flush even after 60.000km.
From my experience I can tell – Volvo Transmissions without any flui changes die after 150-180k km, a well maintained Volvo transmission with 60.000km fluid change lives up to 500-600k kmI’ve heard people who say that you shouldn’t change engine oil at all, cause it’s better for the car.

You can ask someone to turn the wheels while you hold on to the springs, if you feel the clanking on the coils then your strut mounts/bearings are most likely dead

Question is – What do you consider a junk car ? In my opinion all new cars (2005- )are junk cars. I drive a 94 Volvo 850 and I wouldnt change it for a new one. Old cars are reliable cars
