While I can't vouch for the validity of his offer, I can say that I've
heard of this idea before.  I don't recall for sure which engine fluid
it was, but I have been told that changing it after it was left in far
too long could make some major repairs necessary.  Probably would
disrupt some internal valves or something that are already on the
brink of falling apart.  I guess the bottom line was that we could
have gotten the car to last a little longer very cheaply, but would
have to junk it when it does break down.  What actually happened?  The
memory is dim, but I think we opted to leave it alone and take our
chances, and it limped along for a while.
