Same reason chows have purple tongues?

@Kiki correct or no?

I say it depends on who you are asking. If you go by the manual of vehicles now days most will tell you 5,000 - 7,500 for service depending on the make and model, and sometimes adjusted to conditions you drive in. My truck has a sensor just for oil change (not a full service). The manual says to change the oil when the sensor goes off or 1 year whichever comes first. I have let it go until the sensor goes off just to see what it would be and it is always around 9,000 miles.

It also makes a difference depending on if you use synthetic oil or not.

I work on a heck of a lot of things, but I don't prefer to work on my vehicles most times, I have and will at times. I just don't care much for grease and oil, so I usually will gladly pay someone a little to do that. So, I am certainly not a nerd on it.

I am also a stickler on idiot sheets and manuals. I usually feel the peeps who made it know more about what the thing needs, and when it needs it.

Some of us prefer to function enough to drive to work or school in the morning.

Animal nerds: Which breed of horse has fewer ribs than most others?

The same one that has a funny looking head.

Danger! Danger! Some types of animals will display a displeasing color as a warning to other animals. Similar defense mechanisms would be odor— skunk, excreting poison through the skin— poison dart frog, etc, etc.
