Tonight my son and I got out in the shop and changed the oil and transmission gear oil and gave the chassis a good inspection. It was great spending time with him and teaching him (and myself ) how to change the oil in the car, it was truly a learning experience for both of us, we have always serviced our own cars but I have never serviced one of these engines. Afterwards I let my son drive me around some country back roads with the top off . It was the first time my son has ever driven a manual transmission and he did really well. He has shown a ton of interest in this car so I think I'm going to let him have it.

Take another step: cut open the oil filter and cut out the paper element. Drain it for a day or two then use a sharp chisel on the filter body and a razor knife on the paper. You can have a "what am I supposed to see" moment, or an "oh no" moment. It's kind of messy, but it'll let you know if the bearings are going south. An easier but more expensive test is to get the oil analyzed.
