  • For what it’s worth I have yet to actually physically see a new vehicle without an oil dipstick.

    It seems to be mostly a euro thing. BMW stopped using oil dipsticks nearly 2 decades ago. Land Rover also somewhere in the late 00’s.

    But I agree it’s a moronic idea. Not only does it prevent you from checking oil condition like you said; if it’s after an oil change, it takes about 15min just to check the level (and another 15 if you messed it up). At $150+/hr shop rates, that adds up.





  • The point is that even though the global economic system has abuses everywhere, you chose to use an example that is both racially and politically charged.

    It was one example, pulled out of my ass, out of a myriad. And it wasn’t even the point of the post. I’m not going to be assed to edit it.

    When called out about it, specifically that there are numerous examples that both hit closer to home and lack the baggage of your chosen example, how did you react? You immediately dismissed the criticism as coming from a group who you view as holding a number of untenable positions, thus allowing you to dismiss the criticism without engaging with it.

    .ml users commenting on china are more often than not, arguing in bad faith, so I’m not wasting any energy there. And I’m guessing this is your non ml alt.
