What i said was that the recomendations from the shop to change oil and filter plus the fuel filter and the plugs where ok to me for they are not expensive.Even thou the low miles. The car was turned on every once in a while to move it in the garage for whatever reason.This does not allow time to reach normal temp,so i asume carbon build up in the plugs plus the gas being so old may cause the filter to clog up.Being that it is not that expensive to tune up i am ok whith the shop .What got me thinking was the oil sump.The person who sold me the car is in poor health and short on cash due to this and other reasons so he had to sell the car. thank you all for your advise.
