Yes that is correct . As you mentioned before the cost of fixing it
outweighed the value and I would prefer to stay with a diesel. I have a

Autometer ATO-2888 is a 5000 rpm diesel tach with probe that attaches

These things vary from place to place but generally if you paid to store the
vehicle you have entered a contract in which the person offering the storage

It is always disappointing when someone who claims to be an expert (and

somewhere else because if they stuff up a straight forward job like this how

This is in reference to changing the oil in the transmission, not the
