The previous owner did not take good care of the vehicle. To get the car in good shape I had to have the following maintenance performed on the car.
1. Radiator flush.
2. Engine flush
3. Replaced oil with Valvoline Maxlife.
4. Transmission flush
5. Power steering flush
6. Fuel filter was replaced.
7. Air filter was replaced.
8. PCB valve was replaced.
9. Cleaned the fuel injectors with a Japanese brand racing fuel injector cleaner. It did the trick. My gas milage went from 24 to almost 38 miles per gallon. It is now back down to 30. Maybe it is time to put in another one.
The total cost for this was around $450.
The car was worth the $650 I paid for it. Nothing has gone wrong with the car after the maintenance. It runs strong, and the downshift button on the automatic transmission works great for passing on the highway. I run the car at 75 miles per hour every day to go to work and it averages 30 miles per gallon.
What brand name was the Japanese oil, and what is the procedure that you do to drive the car on the highway. I just recently bought a 91 mazda 323, but I think the gas doesn't last for too long.
