You mean ya'll don't open your hood for 2 weeks or more? Those are the ones who are broken down in traffic since they didn't see the leaking hose or low fluid level or with an underflated tire that is soon to be a flat.

Preventative maintenance is the way to go - I check the oil at every or every other fueling. Even my MB manual states it is within spec for my AMG motor to use up to a quart per 1000 miles (mine uses none except when on the track).
