1995 Oldsmobile Aurora V8 107000 miles
Just bought this car. Immediatley had oil changed at Precision Tune. Now it needs oil change again. Should I put synthetic oil in this car? AND as of late it has been getting terrible gas mileage compared to what it hwas getting when I first got the car 3 months ago. When I have it in park and rev the engine there is not a steady flow of roar from the engine but a high and low sound like it is bogging down. When I drive the car I can feel the rythmnic bogging down or hesitation. I have not had any filters changed or done any tune up type work since I have had the car. It had been taken very good care of prior to my purchase with regular maintenance, etc., but I have done none YET. I do not have a lot of money to just take this car to someone to take advantage of me and do everything under the sun that does not need to be done. I am a woman by the way if that helps, and know virtually nothing about car maintenance, etc. Can you please help me ?[img] Right now I am not able financially to donate and I am sorry, but promise to in the near future. Thak you for your help. http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/403014_car_1.jpg[/img]
