I did mention oil for the engine, glycol, and tires, which are all considered operational costs for a car owner rather than manufacturing. Neither of those are carbon-neutral in that you extract carbon as fossil fuels from the ground and release it into the environment. We do have manufacturing like the steel and plastic parts of the car, but those are as you say a different matter to the operational costs.
