It's one of the two basic groups, of "Lawn care & vehicle maintence."
Usually women are honestly better at both skills, because they just pay someone to do it right when you're gone.
So she had a major crisis, the check engine light comes on, or service engine for this car.
I guess the nicer the car, the more they care. I'm usually more concerned in my truck when it doesn't come on.
Usually, they mean almost nothing, but with mbz, infiniti, and probably a few others, the computer tells you what it is. I tried to convince her it's just that a bunch of greedy gooks found a way to scare women into paying em $200 bucks for an oil change, but to only minimum relief, she still wanted me to check the oil. Meaning actually check it, not go my what the car says.
Here's where most of you are laughing. Hafuckingha. This is the worst dipstick I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of them.
Now keep in mind, I've learned through experience, and started with the car in bright sunllight, with the sun overhead. No form of artificial light will do. I saw a mechanic once having a problem, and then start jabbering with his boss, and then the boss getting a flashlight, and then having to intervene, and put it back. If I wasn't there, they probably would have snapped the handle off & glued it in.
It doesn't seem like much at first, and it usually snares it's victims by looking simple

As most things like this goes, it comes out pretty easy

But then, if you're not expecting it, it's like "where did this thing come out of?"

You can see by the curve of the stick it's a bitch, and then when it's about halfway in, you have to manipulate it around something.

Can't guide it with the other hand, cause it blocks the view. You hhave to choke up to about the middle of the stick
