The o/d is automatic: the button is there only keep it out of fourth gear (as when descending a long, steep hill).

Your PRV-6 suffers from inadequate camshaft oiling. You can limit any damage from this by keeping the engine internals clean (try a quality engine flush product, then draining the oil) and using a 0W-30 or 5W-30 full synthetic oil for good startup lubrication, film strength, and detergency.
