Hell, let me change that... X200!

I'm frankly stunned that there are people driving an (up to) $42K car who can't be bothered to check their oil. WTF, people??? That is girlfriend behavior. The amount of time it takes is negligible. Here's the procedure:

Your gas tank is close to empty. Go fill the gas tank. Drive home (or take a short drive; just make sure the engine is warmed up). Turn the car off and check the time. Wait 15 minutes. Check the oil level.

The total time involved in stuff that you aren't going to do anyways is about 2 minutes. If I remember correctly, the manual (read it, for god's sake, people... it only takes a couple of hours!) says that an empty oil reserve can void the warranty, as 99% of the time it means the customer was being negligent and not checking the oil.

If you want your car to last a long time, you should be checking all of the fluids and belts after every fill-up.

Lecture over
