Driver/Car owners of Blind, why haven’t you changed your oil yet?

Besides EV driver/owners, why havent you changed your car’s oil yet? I am shocked by how poorly most tech workers treats their vehicles despite being an “engineer”. Is it that hard to know basic car maintenance? TC:140K YOE: 1

Your driveway must be pretty

It warned 15 days before my 3 week vacation. Just punted it further. Moreover the warning has nothing to do with quality of oil. It is a static measure that goes from 100% to 0% in 6000 miles. I drove 500 miles with apparently used up oil. Still got a marginal difference in fuel efficiency

Keep driving.. you might not need to fuel it either

Makes sense, a lot of the oil life reading is a function of miles and driving cycles.

I lost an engine for not being an engineer. I was sad but moved on to other things ...

FB offers onsite mechanic so no issues here

Is this for reals?

Is that new? Only have heard of free bicycle repairs, not automotive.

It’s been raining every day since before 2020 in Seattle... I’m over my interval but within range of “ehh that’s a bit too long”.

Because I don't like crawling under it and disposing of old oil properly. I make enough to pay a mechanic to do this

So, have you done it yet?

10k miles is a ways out. The 5k to 7.5k is just marketing.

Really depends on vehicle. Older cars should follow the 5k or 7.5k cycle. Newer cars can easily go for 10k cycles especially hybrids(engine not on all the time)

Depends on the engine. My Lexus is350 hates going over 5000 miles, engine literally starts making weird noises.

Same for my last Honda. Engine has more vibrations when I’m late in my oil cycle
