My brother has a similar mentality when it comes to car maintenance. He bought a very nice 94 Accord with 127K on it. Sold it with 167K, with only two oil changes-one after 13K and one 19K later.
Even worse, my dad gave one of my other bro's a 92' F150. It had about 199K when he got it. When he sold it at 252K, it had ZERO oil or filter changes
In fact, he just added a quart of oil when it started knocking. What really is amazing is that when he sold the truck, it actually ran pretty good, had the 302.
That was probably the toughest truck I have seen, he used to "jump" the truck on one of the roads in town with like 4 feet of air, at least a hundred times. That thing never broke down though.
