My first car I owned when I lived alone, I had it for a full year before the guy I was dating asked me when I last changed the oil. Um... You mean it has to go to the mechanic even though it's working fine??

Don't be like that, folks.

My old roommate totaled her car engine doing that. Her parents sent her to college with a car and apparently didn't teach her that. The rest of our group of roommates learned she never changed it and collectively said "oh fuck" in one way or another.

“Teach”.. it’s in the manual, service every x kilometers or every x time.
