When I was working at a tire shop attached to a big-name department store, we weren't allowed to do anything but tire related stuff. A woman comes in with a new Chevy equinox and tells us that her car "ran out of oil" and asked us to put some in. We told her if the maintenance minder on the dash board is giving you a percentage of the oil life, that doesn't mean it ran out, and to take it to a mechanic because we weren't allowed to help her. We watched as she went inside, bought a 5 quart jug of the cheapest stuff she could find and pour it all in in the parking lot without draining the old oil. We were telling her the entire time to take it to a mechanic and not add more oil, but she insisted that she could "save some money and not be ripped off" by doing this. 2 weeks later, our local mechanic shop that we sent customers like her to said they drained 9 quarts of oil and a bunch of large sparkly flakes out of am equinox and that the customer insisted we told her to put it in. You seriously can't fix stupid

Well, I blame dealers at this point. I took my chevy spark to dealer for oil change and they gave me an estimate for $1500 maintenance which includes coil replacement, check something something, rotate tires, wheel balance, Oh also replace wiper blades for $75. It was 12000 miles on this car none of them needed other than oil change. This is rip off and I understand why they don't want to go to dealer. Most of people say ok for this estimate and realized later it's too late. 🙂 They charge $100-$120 for oil change and basic multi-point inspection. This is crazy.

The linear polarity reversing heated seat modulator that is apparently bad needs replaced as well but I couldn't afford it at the time but they said I might get lucky and it won't need done until next month so I'll be using my tax return to take care of that. The crappy thing is the mechanic said these are all normal wear parts so my warranty doesn't cover any of them and that ads an extra 10% to the bill because he has to fill out extra paperwork notifying them it's not their fault.

I had a friend in high school that was driving a Chevy Corsica with a GM 3.1V6 I think. The oil filter had been on the car so long the brand could not be read. I had my friend pickup a case of Mobil-1 15W50 and a pint of B12 Chemtool. This was around 1991. No one in his family knew when the oil had been changed last. I also made him pick up a case of ATF and a transmission filter. No oil was reading on the dipstick. So I had him put one quart of Mobil1 in and the 1 pint of B12 Chemtool and it was a 10 minute drive to the auto shop. We took it to the Army's "Auto Craft Shop" put it on a lift and got to work changing the oil, ATF and brakes. The oil was so thick it took it came out about the consistency of ketchup. Everyone had to come over and check it out and give him a hard time for not changing the oil more often! 2 weeks latter he told me he could not believe how well the car was running he was amazed he could feel the difference!

@@Striker50_ true but most people who change their own oil don’t have a lift where they can jack up a car and get underneath it easily they’ll most likely use a jack which only raises the car about 2-3 feet so you’ll have to lay down to remove the filter which is a pain. I think it is a great idea having the oil filter up on top.

My Megane diesel has 18,000 mile intervals. It's 14 years old and has done 150,000 miles. It runs perfectly giving around 60 mpg and never burns a drop of oil. Modern engines running fully synthetic oils do not need 1940s dino oil intervals. 25,000 mioes is a bit far though.

[@alextran8188]

She is lucky the Synthetic oil is really forgiving. If this was 20-30yrs ago her engine would've been toast lol

[@Graceymay74]

I'd be pretty confident that it is not far from toast. With oil that black with carbon it is likely that this Subaru's horizontal cylinders will be worn oval as many Subaru motors do. I'd bet that it already is 20% down on compression. The way the oil bubbles when it is draining shows that the antifoam component has stopped working so the oil has very much lost a lot of its function.

[@alextran8188]

@@Graceymay74 true, but she is lucky that oil didn't turn into thick sludge

[@Graceymay74]

@@alextran8188 Lucky yes, in that it still was running. But if she has never changed the oil and it only drained that small amount, the inside of the engine is where you'll find the rest. sludge on every surface. Guaranteed. it is what oil does when it goes this long without a change. the lighter compounds evaporate. the additives break down. the heat cycles within the engine basically turn the engine into a refracting tower which slowly splits oil into its components. The oil also gets polluted by unburnt fuel which makes it past the rings (yes, even in new engines. just less so), carbon and this degrades the oil further. that oil is probably 10% as effective compared to new as a lubricant. Oil in this condition is the worst thing for all the gaskets and seals, so it will be a leaky motor in time. I think this engine will be toast pretty soon. 10-30 thousand km (6-18 thousand miles). it will blow oil at initially, then lose compression and power. soon after it will either foul the plugs too much to start or a big-end bearing will hit its wear limit and it will throw a conrod. you're also right she's "lucky" that this is a near new late model. if you didn't change the oil for that long in a car with 100k on the clock, you probably wouldn't need to change the oil at this point because it would be far far worse. especially a Subaru engine.

When I took auto shop class in high school during the early 80s, a teacher had brought in their 1965 Ford Mustang to have it looked at. The car had been running rough, so the teacher was hoping we could diagnose the problem. She had purchased the car new back in 1965: 289 engine, automatic transmission, notchback body model. Our instructor, Mr. Swan, asked about the maintenance history of the car. Much to his surprise, the owner revealed that she had “never” changed the oil! She would however, every 4 or 5 months, add a little fresh oil to the engine. When asked if she had done this based on the oil level, she claimed that she had never checked that either! Interestingly, the dipstick was completely stuck in the engine. Using a pair of vise grips, and about a half hour of pulling later, the dipstick finally worked its way loose. It was practically glued in place with a very sticky, tar like substance. Remarkably, after we changed the oil and gave it a much needed tuneup, the car ran reasonably well.

The mechanics, knowing I knew the family, had me called to the shop floor to witness what came out of the drain plug when they opened it up, glittering sludge about the consistency of cake batter. They didn't believe the mechanics, got pissy and demanded the vehicle back with no work done. I was told later they found spark plug wires switched (a result of the mechanics rushing to put the car back together for them) and claimed that was the original problem and the dealership was trying to bilk them out of a rebuild for nothing.

I change oil twice a year on my fleet of vehicles. On my main service van that works out to 20 to 30k between every change. It was in service until last year and had 600k on it when I sold it. It would use about 1 quart per 30k. BTW I use 5w30 conventional in winter and 10w30 conventional in summer. The van with 600k was a GMC with a 4.8

My wife's first car I bought for her was a '82 pontiac j2000. It had a small antifreeze leak and you had to top it off once a week. I showed her how to do it. She maintained it fine for the first month or two (we didn't have time or money to repair it at the time and it was only a $500 car). 6 months later I happen to check it and it was bone dry. Basically when I stopped checking up on her she stopped filling it up because "it was just going to leak it out anyway and she was tired of doing it". So basically this car ran air cooled for months and didn't die. That old iron 1.8 motor was slow and heavy but apparently pretty durable.

Crazy! Also 30.000k oil service interval says in my service book and on the car dash computer on my brand new gasoline 2023 volkswagen passat 1.5L turbo. I'm now at 20.000km and motor already burn oil to the minimum on the oil stick so I already add it like 1L. That's insane long and I already know this engine will not last too much after warranty expires for sure. On other way it's company car that I use for work and it's 3 year leasing period so I guess nobody cares. But still 30.000km oil intervals?! On gasoline car?! Yeah. That's planned obsolescence in the full blast!
