I missed the part where the car was at 150k, so I see what you’re saying now. I just saw the “10 years” and was thinking that, with average driving and regular maintenance, that would be pretty shite. But at 150k, yeah… there would be some warning signs before it just slipped off, but it could be overlooked if “regular maintenance” is all that was being done
I was told when I was a kid, “after about every 50k, ya need to take the car in for a ‘tune-up’ and have it looked at”, and it’s not the worst advice
You had me laugh with replacing “nearly new oil every 3k miles” though. And every time, they’re trying to upsell me on the damn wipers and airfilters. Like, it’s ok I’ve got that covered when I need them… yes, I know it can affect gas mileage… just put the damn airlfilter back! I just need the oil changed please
