>Cars used to require an absolutely huge amount of regular maintenance
To a degree ICEs still do. Check the recommended service intervals in the user manual on a modern car. You basically need to visit the shop at least every year or sometimes every 6 months.
Obviously the sky won't fall if you don't do it as often as they recommend and the car will run just fine, but then you're voiding your warranty in case something breaks.
- jdsully 3y agoThats a far cry from when they used to check your oil every fill up (because your car was definitely consuming it). You had you had to grease mechanical joints on the body and suspension every 1k miles - now those are all sealed. Old cars needed a ton of work frequently. Check out this 1950s car owners manual: https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyowner/50om22.htm https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyowner/50om22.htm
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoFair enough, I'm only used to cars from the 80's and younger.
