You are not ones trying to reach it’s ones that never check oil level or wait for idiot “change engine oil soon” to light up to get to 10% That may take years? But, don’t matter anyway cause 99% of them lease or trade every two or three years.

A Z06 with dry sump takes ten liters so different story ;-)
Many may be paying-$100-150+ for the dealer to change their oil.
12 mo or 10K mi always seemed hard for me to believe. I like data, a UOA on an Audi (turbo) recommended 7,500 mi oil change when doing UOA testing oil at 5K. Mfg recommend is 10K.
So I would never let a turbo charged motor go more than 5K without an oil change.
The one fluid that most nobody changes is brake fluid which needs to flushed every couple of years.
Brake fluid is hydroscopic and absorbs moisture out of the air. Not good for modern ABS systems that can cost thousands to replace.
YMMV
