I did an oil change like 1 week before i pulled the motor and it sat for 2 months. Should i get new oil or is the old stuff fine because it barely ran the motor. I guess getting new trnany fluid never hurts since its cheap. i just dont wanna spend like 40 bucks on OIL. Poorness...
but yeah let me know if my old oil is fine or should i get new stuff.
Thanks in Advance.

Is it synthetic or non if it is synthetic u dont have to change it cause there is no life to synthetic but if it just regular old motor oil its better to change it due to there is life to oil and after a certain time of sitting the oil becomes no good...
What I would do if my car has sat for an extended period of time is, I would disconnect the ECU (to disable the fuel system) and I let the motor turn over for at least a 1 minute or longer before actually starting it to allow the motor to relubricate it self from sitting for a period of time.
I dont see why the oil would be bad if the motor only for 2 months IMO, but to rule out any possibilties just change it anyway.

*facepalm*
The fluids should be more than fine but if you want to change them go ahead. Take it out and get everything nice and hot and all the condensation will evaporate out.
