Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why
ShawiniganHandshake@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI’m not sure if this is universally true but I’ve never seen a fully electric vehicle that uses motor oil. Hybrid vehicles with an internal combustion engine and an electric drive train would still need it, of course.

There’s still hydraulic fluids and transmission oil in EVs but by the time you need to change that most people are long out of warranty and likely already onto their next car.
So strictly speaking there is oil and fluids that need replacing but like its such a long life span.

Wait, what? At least on every car I’ve owned, the recommended interval for a transmission fluid change was about 100k mi. Are most people buying a new car after less than 100k of use? That seems ridiculous! My Corolla is almost at 250k now, I’ve had it since 2015, and I’m expecting her to hit 1m mi before I put her out to pasture.
