hey guys, my first post on this so ill give it a go.
I put  my 94 camry in for a full checkup this afternoon cause my motor
oil was leaking. I;ve brought it for a year it has 145,000 km on it.
Since ive brought it ive had 2 services done, one at the dealer i
brought it from and another at Kmart. i cant believe that kmart did
not pick it up when i got a full service done. I got a report back
saying that teh engine and breather hoses where all clogged with
sludge and that the oil was being forced out of the rear seals. I was
told taht the only option was for an engine change.

I'm a student. and hence poor. cant afford 4k for a engine rebuild,
does anyone know how long i can expect to keep the car going for if i
say use full synthetic oils and reguarly service (say every 5000kms).
I really only need it to i graduate so that i can actually get a new
car. The engine sounds fine to me and the engine temperature rarely
goes past halfway on the thermostat.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks
