You fags really don't put any effort into shit-posts anymore.
Shit is embarrassing reddit tier shit.
Fuck I miss good bait.

Thanks to the war, there will be no oil to check anyway.

As early as 2011 ,BMW M5 featured a V8 engine without a dipstick.

>multiple outlets confirm GM is going to forgo the dipstick
>"Fuck I miss good bait."
This is your brain on GM.

US is a net oil exporter. it's not the 1970s anymore
>>
>>29092980
Yeah and it sucks, your point?
>>
>>29092980
And you still can't provide an argument for why no dipstick is better than having a dipstick
>>
>>29093002
Then why is gas (and heating oil and diesel oil) so expensive in the US at the moment? Surely it can't be problems with foreign exports, huh?
>>
>>29093016
Suck?

But it’s more modern, and you don’t have to get your hands dirty to check the engine oil level. Everything is neatly displayed on the screen via iDrive.
>>
>>29093027
Everything quits working on a bmw after like 100k miles. So either you buy one new, which makes you a retard. Or you buy one used which also makes you a retard
>>
>>29093027
>get your hands dirty to check the engine oil level
why are you getting oil on the dipstick handle
>>
>>29093027
It could do all that "amazing" stuff, and still allow you to check the oil level physically. These things are not mutually exclusive.
>>
>>29093243
He's probably one of those guys who has to use those stupid oil drain valves because he can't outsmart a stream of oil. I wouldn't be surprised if that retard tried to top up the oil via the dipstick.

Gm is trash

>cylinder deactivation no longer necessary
>easy to get rid of, no major changes

Proof-positive they want that POS to die, five minutes after the warranty expires.

>cylinder deactivation no longer necessary
For MPG and emissions it is.
Everyone is doing it.
Even in 4cly.

So how much money do they save by removing the dipstick, and then how much money will it cost them when people think that this means they never have to change their oil ever again?

Doesn't matter, these engines don't even survive to their first oil change.
>>
>>29093026
because of taxes, you retarded nigger
>>
>>29094435
crazy thing is they’re the only brand with proven temu quality lifters, they literally fail just by existing, ford and ram is just an oil pump. how people still buy gm in the year 2026 will forever amaze me.
>>
>>29093026
70% of the price of gas in my state is due to state taxes

That would drive me nuts, I check the oil like once a month.
>>
>>29094554
so the taxes went up at the exact same time as the iran war, which made fuel prices go up?
>>
Did they put it a sight glass or something like a bike?
>>
>>29095363
Bet you have to check it from the infotainment screen or something. i.e. click through 10 menus to see it.
>>
>>29093002
It's a globalized economy. If some random nation requires more gas to maintain its economy, then the US must export gas over its own citizens in order to maintain that economy and therefor its own economy. It is just math, if the US has to raise the cost of gas 10% to prevent some other random resource you depend on from doubling in cost, then you will pay the 10%.

If this bothers you, no Trump did not fix it, he did random bullshit that is making the problem worse. The economy is still globalized but he's doing it wrong.
>>
>>29092889
>no dipstick

...and it is replaced by some sensor that fail two weeks after leaving the dealership and cost $300 to fix.
>>
>>29095420
Why yes, we put inside the oil pan, how did you guess?
>>
I never check the oil in my car anyway
>>
>>29092889
If I had to buy American I would definitely buy a Ford over anything GM
>>
>>29095377
I do not like that, but I bet you're right.
>>
>>29092889
>no dip stick
Wrong. Every buyer.
>>
>>29095363
No, get fucked. Take it to the dealer.
