    If a car breaks on the road it’s a danger to road users, this is just a fact. If it’s really that important it should be part of MOT. As simple as that.

    If it’s not that important, then you should not get over people’s asses for that.

      True, but breaking by not being able to speed up is less catastrophic than breaking by not being able to slow down, or not being able to turn.

      Probably the most likely failure mode from old oil would be seizing up when the engine’s cold, so it just won’t start next time.

      But you do you, I’m just saying they’re designed with oil changes in mind, and if you do that one basic bit of maintenance it’ll save you money in the long run…
