RIP 2010 370z

Going over recommended service isn't going to kill your car. Handing your car over to some jamoke who doesn't give a **** about it at the dealership, very likely, will.

Handing your car over to some jamoke who doesn't give a **** about it at the dealership, very likely, will. More than once I've berated my parents for not checking their fluid levels after they get their car serviced. More often than not I pull out the dipstick and their car's oil barely reaches the tip.

Once, while panic braking, I saw the low oil light come on in their Camry and, sure enough, the dipstick was completely dry when I pulled it out.

Check your fluids if you're not changing them yourself. Super important.

I did actually run into this very issue with them the third time I took the car in. They didn't fill the oil correctly, I took it in the same day and they took care of it right away while apologizing to me about 20 times. I'm not going to lie, I stopped checking this after about the 5th time I had it serviced and haven't double checked them since. It's also my fault for not taking it in when I should have back in February. It's also my fault for not checking the oil levels when I hit the 73k mile mark.
