Just bought an EP3 that's only done a handful of miles in the last year / 14 months, it's spent most of its time stood. The oil looks new ( very clean ) should I change it ?
Does it go 'off' or anything crazy if just stood in the car ?

Also, the cars done 73k, should I change the gearbox oil ?
It had FHSH up to 60k actual miles. Last Honda service was the 72k service, I guess it's either 72k or x number of years old. It's a 2003 plate.

Cheers

for the small cost its never a bad thing

definitely do the Gbox oil eitherway, 72k on the same oil is crappy, its alot smoother with new oil in

engine oil doesnt go 'off' as such over that period of time but you might aswell change that too tbh
