How long have you had the car? You didn't change the oil of unknown duration when you first bought it?

That's the very 1st thing I do whenever I buy a used car.

Won't go into it here. But I have driven the car less than 20 miles. Last mainentance records I can find are about 2 years old or so. So I am assuming not much has been done over the last 24-30 months and 20k miles. So I am starting with a 90k maintenance - and will go from there.

Good idea, that's the way to do it. Keep notes and receipts and start a book on the car. Will help you later and help when you sell it.
