Default Some people just dont care..

I was at a good friends house talking about cars and i told him to check is oil.
So we go out side and what do we find the motor oil is below empty.

this car has had 1-2 oil changes in 20k miles.

While were at it we check the coolant and it is almost black and at the low line. then the powersteering fluid because he was complaining about it and it is almost empty.
And lastly the transmission fluid and we took the stick out and thought something was wrong because there was nothign on it, it was completely dry..

SOme people just don't care. and btw its not bad car either its a subaru wrx.
I don't see how some people don't care.
Im sure everyone here takes better care of their beater cars or you winter car.

doesn't sound that bad... 2 oils changes, 20k = 10k/oil change...what's the recommendation? i think on my accord it was 7500/change.

I think the bigger issue is the lack of or condition of the fluids.

what i find most shocking is that a for a low mileage subaru wrx, the car has lost so much coolant, powersteering fluid, and transmission fluid. this is so unlike any late model cars, regardless of what make they are. sounds more like someone had been messing with the car...
