The first thing I always do when I buy any car, is change the engine oil and filter (and on other less well made cars with rubber bands for timing belts ..change that) I once had a Peugeot car who's timing belt snapped..cost of repair? £1,300! ( $2000!)...Not a problem with our DeLoreans of course though.
