It is no surprise to me. I have seen a brand new Nissan Pathfinder come in with a rod/hole in the side of the block at 15K miles. The oil filter part number ended in a 1. That means the oil filter had never been changed. Service manager saw it and said, were gonna put a new long block in it anyway. So we did. It baffles me how many folks forget to check and change the oil in the correct amount of time/mileage.

A guy I work with, bought a new vette with the z51 package. He didn't know how to check oil on it. He couldn't even find the dip stick.

I had to show him the dip stick, and how to check oil with the dry sump system on the car.

I knew more about his car then he did.

And I don't even like vettes. Just goes to show you how stupid people are about their vehicles. Don't read the manual, just jump in and drive the wheels off of it. Complain about it when it breaks.

No shocker there. I bet there are a lot of 'Vette owners who know f*cK-all about cars.
