Alright, I’m tired of this thread, so let’s get this over with.
I know how an engine works, at least to some degree. I know why you need oil. I was pulling your (plural) legs.
Part 1: The fact is that mechanics do try to make you buy stuff and services you don’t really need. It’s just a fact, they are salespeople, it’s their job to convince you to buy stuff. You don’t get to be upset when people say “those pesky mechanics are always trying to make you spend money”, because that is literally in the job description.
Part 2: Unfortunately, we have built a society where everyone needs a car. So we have to make it so anyone can use a car effectively, not only car enthusiasts. Thinking that only some specially skilled and knowledgeable people should be allowed to drive is elitist bullshit. If as you say “these people should not own a car” but then we have made owning cars mandatory, means we have failed all those people as a society.
“BuT iT’s NoT dAnGeRoUs, It’S oNlY fInAnCiAl”… And? Even having a car insurance is only a financial matter, and yet it’s illegal to drive without it.
No get off your collective high horses.

If a car breaks on the road it’s a danger to road users, this is just a fact. If it’s really that important it should be part of MOT. As simple as that.
If it’s not that important, then you should not get over people’s asses for that.

I have a single piece of expensive clothes. I have never washed it because I wore it only once for my graduation.
Plus, washing isn’t servicing. It’s just washing. I would also wash my car, sometimes.
Treating with care is also not servicing. If I haven’t broken it, and it needs servicing, then it broke by itself. If it broke by itself, then it’s a scam and has no business being expensive, I will have to pay for repairing it anyway.

It’s not Scotland, I Just use that username.
I think the oil change is not part of the inspection here either. If the oil change was that important, it would be required to be roadworthy. Like working brakes and safe tires. If it is not that important… Then it’s not important

Here you are forced by law to get your car serviced periodically. Mechanics are known to try to rip you off every time.
Plus, I could easily raise the counter argument that if I spend thousands on a machine, it better be reliable without needing to get serviced all the time

I have sad news for you. Not even the sperm is stored in the balls, it’s just produced there. It’s stored in a separate sack inside your body.

I’m not sure this is a thought profound enough to count as politics. I’d classify it as nothing more than aerating the mouth, since there clearly was no thought process behind it
