Here's an irritating Australian pushing the JUST DO AS YOU ARE TOLD mantra

Dont they revoke your citizenship for that anymore?

Now I suppose the implication that an OIL CHANGE (!) is too complicated for the punter won't bother most punters, (though it would put me off buying a Ford Ranger, which otherwise doesn't look as bad as most fat a***d American trucks).

What he ignores is the possibility (probability?) that if its too complicated fot most punters, its too complicated for at least some mechanics.

This would drive you to the main dealers (which may be part of the motivation) IF you trusted them.

But suppose the main dealer mechanic gets distracted, say by finding a Mars Bar (or some porn, not my car obviously) in the glove compartment. You would never know.

I suppose the general message is don't buy a modern car, though I knew that already.
