Don't skimp on the oil change intervals though, because you might end up with a little more fuel than normal in the oil. I'm sure you're planning on changing the oil when you get it home anyway though, which is the first thing I do with a new car.
Unless you're using a wideband O2 sensor I wouldn't even bother trusting what the gauge says.
thanks for the info!
This gives me more confidence in purchasing the car. i figured the same thing. The car would have to almost not run to have a wash in the cylinder.
