lol … thanks for the chuckle … Reminds me of a high-tech co-worker, computer genius, but she had weird ideas about car maintenance. She had an early 80’s Corolla and over a 5 year period I knew her, she never changed the oil and filter even one time. I’m not kidding. Her theory was all you have to do is add oil when the dipstick gets low. Her belief was changing oil and filter isn’t necessary for Toyotas. Last I heard she was a professor teaching computer design at an engineering university. ---
