Even though it seems like eons ago, in the not so distant past a female driver could pull in to a service hub and have her car serviced; an attendant would indeed come out and do any work for her that needed to be done. They filled your tank, and checked the air in your Tires as well as your oil level. You paid for the gas and the oil - and didn't pay for whatever else.
Car Maintenance - What Women Should Know
Those were fabulous times! Most women today don't even remember a time when such was the case. Short of having a guardian angel that doubles as an on-demand auto mechanic, every woman should at least have a basic understanding of how to care for her car.
When I first started dating my husband, I had been driving a pretty blue sports car for about a year. Being a gentleman, he offered to check whether my car needed service. He came to me at once and asked me when I had last changed the oil. "Do I need to convert the oil?" I asked him. I just topped off on the oil whenever needed, but never changed the oil. When he drained the oil, it was like sludge, probably because I had driven 25,000 miles without changing it. Now I've learned that I need to convert the oil regularly. A good way to remember to do it is to convert the oil colse to holidays. Since I drive 15,000 miles per year, oil changes every 5,000 miles coincide with Easter, Labor Day, and Christmas.
