There many practices one can "get away with" that should not be passed
along as advice... "do what I say, not what I do"
Another example would be the way I sometimes handle tools...
You are supposed to change your oil & filter every once in a while. You
are also supposed to change the brake fluid. Successfully ignoring
these protocols does not make doing so the best way to take care of your
car, however.
