    Car was bought used by older sister in 2005 and had FSH when purchased.

    Seriously?

    You are a compulsive liar.

    My point being is that cars can survive for several years without oil changes. I think changing oil twice is a year is only needed if using low grade oil. If using a quality fully synthetic changing annually is fine for the OP

    So you think going from blatant lies and exaggeration in one post to attempting to give advice the next is in some way beneficial to anybody or the forum in general?

    I do wish you could keep track of what you post, as someone who made out in their own thread that they know nothing about cars you are now suddenly an expert on oil and can give the OP advice on low grade and synthetic oil despite not bothering to do any oil changes yourself.
