My son's friend works at a Ford dealership. Recently a customer walked away from a deal because they, "Didn't want a vehicle that needed the oil changed...." They walk among us.
My grandma bought a Corolla brand new when I was a kid, drove around in it for about 10 years and never once opened the hood or had it serviced. When it was finally done, there was a layer of dust caked around the engine like a cocoon and the car was about 1.5qt low. Still ran! Changed it and it ran for many years after that. No idea how many miles it went on the factory oil but it never faltered.
I once serviced a Mazda van with 106,000 miles on it, which the owner said had never been serviced since it was new. I knew the owner, and believed this, especially when I saw the condition of the spark plugs. It survived at least another couple of years, until he sold it on.
I bought a 2005 Forester new and gave it to my daughter at about 85k miles. She had the oil/filter changed at a Subaru dealer. I got the car back, did an oil/filter change, and the filter had been installed (at the dealer) so tightly I had to jab a screwdriver through it and it took all my strength to remove ii, using the long screwdriver for leverage. Utterly crazy!
In 2010 I bought a 2007 Hyundai Santa fe I changed the oil myself every 3 to 4 months. Its now November 2023 and the "Old Girl " still runs great with 338,000 kilometers on the clock
I work at a Subaru dealership, I’ve seen multiple people go 30,000 miles before an oil change it’s crazy, and the black factory Subaru filters are always extremely tight in the first place. Also if it’s a new car and it’s got a blue filter with a white paint mark that’s also a factory filter
Kind of cool how you can see the Japanese innovation. the oil filter has a lip around it so when you take it off to change it, the oil inside it doesn't spill down onto the engine.
I changed the oil on a junk lawn mower with a “seized” engine. The oil came out like molasses...I took a video twirling it with a screwdriver as it came out. I added new oil and couldn’t believe it started on the first pull. Change the oil two times afterward and it ran great.
She did as good of a job changing the oil as you did covering up the license plate.
That was a bad attempt of protecting their vehicle license plate.
Every women is strong and independent, until it’s time to change engine oil.
You’re the last person that’s ever going to change that oil.
Changing oil is a myth. I've changed my truck oil every 3000 miles and 15 years later my heating fan is making a slight noise.

Sadly, when she trades this car in for a new one, the dealer will tell the new owner it was well maintained by the previous owner.
This is what scares me about buying used cars...
"Who tightened that thing" a buff japanese man in a Subaru factory.

Girls will get mad at you if you go 2 weeks without washing your bed sheets and then do this.

Got to love the fact guy puts hand over license plate to hide it, then proceeds to film it multiple times
