I agree with Steve on all the fluid changesfor longivity - but I might throw one thing out there.

You say you have little funds. Well, synthetic is the way to go - but on a car that has not been cared for that well, as for oil changes - you may get a seal leak going to synthetic. This happened to me on a 940 I bought - had to replace front seals.

I am going to synthetic in the crankcase a little at a time on the 745T I just got. I started with all Volvoline Durablend 10w30 - next change will be 3 qts. Mobil 1, one dino. Then the next I will go all Mobil 1.

Good luck,
Andrew in AL
