"nobody does it"??? is that why gas stations sell oil and give you free wipes to do this stuff with?
From what I have seen, no one raises the hood at a gas station. I do -- but I do out of habit as and old motorcycle/sports cars enthusiast dating back to the 50s. Heck the 64 XKE I had back in the 60s would use around a quart every couple hundred miles or so-- and it held 10 qts as I recall. So, I carried my own oil. And, today everything is hidden under a wad of plastic shielding.
people still check under the hood at gas stations. they don't do it as often because cars are better and most people are in the habit of checking MUCH less frequently, but it's the place to do it.
Agree it is the right place.
Come on, Jim. If they sell oil it's hidden behind the chips, T-shirts and soda. At least half the time those wipe dispensers are empty. Other than guys driving obvious oil-burning beaters, nobody raises a hood at gas stations.
ok, so you get people who never check their oil... doesn't mean it's not the place to do it though - if someone were to bother.
Most of which are self-serve, so ...
(I live in NJ, one of the few (only?) states where it's illegal to pump one's own gas)
Are we discussing cars or condoms?
Agreed, but can't say how long it's been since I've seen anyone else raise the hood.
