Fred,
Why doncha climb in Redryder and drive down to Jarrell for an oil change?
We'll go into Georgetown to Oil Exchange where the fellers know what to do with an old stovebolt, how to change oil, what to grease, do what you say "Do," and don't do what you say "Don't do."
It'll be a fun trip, we can go have a burger at Dale's Essenhaus or the Crossroads Cafe, and you'll be back on the road in no time!
