Jkelley, thank you. I just switched over to 0-w30 6 months ago, I think it's a synthetic oil. The oil is changed every 6 months. I do have a battery tender - a Schumacher 1.5A Maintainer. I'm not sure if its the correct one, because I've read of people suggesting a trickle charger?? I hope the one I have is the correct one to use. Thanks again jkelley for all your help!

Seeing how your car only gets started 4 times a week, along with the low mileage, a yearly changing of the oil will be fine. I was wondering, do you ever get to 6th gear? If I was in your area I'd gladly take your car for a spin to get the cobwebs out.

NNY S2k - Lol, that's funny! Believe me, there's a long list of friends & family willing to take it out for a very long spin!! I'll keep you in mind though!! I do get to take it out a bit longer if I need gas, so yes I try to speed around a bit and get to 6th gear, it all depends on how my painful my body is at the time. Thanks for the offer!!

Sounds like you've received some good advice. Don't have much to add but to say I'm sad to hear this and wish you the best.

NNY S2k - Thanks!

Mark335 - Thank you as well! I'm just trying to make sure I have the S2K, one that's not driven as much to have all my bases covered yearly to keep the engineup to good running order.
