A funny / annoying thing about my wife’s EV: it has an oil change sticker for 5000 miles ...
I tried telling a few normals about this, but they didn’t understand why I found it funny.

Did you call the repair shop. and ask if you could schedule it? They did put the sticker on there.

I feel like that would start a game of chicken that I'm not prepared to win.

You should definitely take it to Miller’s Auto and Body Repair when it's"due" for the oil change just to see if they try to rip you off.

“ Sure, bring it in....”

Here’s the $75 bill for the oil change, just sign here. And uhh, cash is preferred for this type of service. Thanks.

That would only confirm things I’m scared about knowing.

That's definitely a stock photo, since I was too lazy to go out and take a picture of the real thing.

Probably for a tire rotation/inspection but they don't have EV specific reminder stickers.

I'm sure you’re right, and they can’t print the stickers without the oil brand on there.

Well the EV still needs blinker fluid, which is a type of oil, no?

I get why it’s funny. But many EV’s still require regular maintenance, and for things you might not realize they have. Of course there’s the normal things like tire rotation, fluid checks (coolant, washer fluid, diff/trans). But the manufacturer might require an HV battery check which is done through computer, and maybe an HV battery desiccant. I’ve seen more than one person ignore these and then have warranty a claim denied. They’re usually lenient about it, by maybe up to 50% over, but 2-3 years overdue is still 2-3 years overdue.

This post was mostly a joke, but you’re right. Unfortunately, asking the dealership about this, especially as it relates to warranty, was pointless. You think I really have to go to the dealer every 5k miles just to maintain the warranty?

Possibly. Unless you have a Mercedes, I can't answer that.
