Automotive Maintenance Schedule

Psychic Sperm

People on the road you must care for your car
Otherwise you’re driving but won’t get too far
Lots of moving parts that can wear and degrade
Changing out your fluids is required and you monitor them

Carbon steel is strong but it rusts in a snap
Not just superficial - the rust is a trap
Keep your undercarriages clear of that crap
Modern frames and bodies are combined so sheet is doing something

Every couple ‘thou
Change your filter out
Switch the oil, too
Keep it running true

Keep the salt away
Give your steel a break
Switch the filters who
Clean the air for you

you can do your best but you’ll still hit a snag
you could spring a leak or you could hit a stag
persevere or all of your efforts are bagged
sunk costs are an analytic fallacy but TCO is real

The coolant flush well it bugs me these days
No proper vent - it just bubbles away
To stop the boil might be what they say
But something tells me that this wacky funnel ain’t the only way

Tighten to the spec
So you don’t regret
Bolts coming loose
Or threads coming, too

Undercarriage coat
Isn’t just a joke
Keep the rust at bay
No red in the gray
