Back in the 70’s I had a VW bug that leaked about a quart of oil a week. I parked it over a drainage grate in the road so it didn’t stain the road. Added a quart of oil every week and never changed it. The thing ran forever despite my lack of proper maintenance. Paid $800 for it and sold it for $750 8 years later. Good first ride : )
