Tranny oil instead of engine oil is only half the problem here. Who the hell equates oil idiot light with CEL and just ignores it? It would be fun to create an account somewhere and come up with something this stupid just to see if it ended up in OT here and every other car forum. I just don't want to ruin the name of Shytheed Dumas. :D

I've talked with folks like that. They expect a car to be like a microwave or a television. Turn it on, it works. Nothing needed from the end user maintenance wise.

You'd be surprised how many people will drive a car until it just stops. Even if every red light on dash has been glowing for 3 days and it's smoking and making banging noises. They'll just push the gas pedal down harder to make it go. I've seen engines with the rings fused to the cylinder walls and the rods fused to the crank from a lack of oil.

Sad to say, now that I think about it there's a guy I work with whose daughter burned up two engines by running them out of oil. I guess there are people out there with IQ's lower than idiot lights. Makes me want to cry.

My father in law was like that. His idea of oil changes was adding when low. Only fixed things after they broke. No preventive maintainence.
