Well then just pop open the hood and look! Research the basics in how your car works before you kill yourself or someone else over your ignorance!
If you’re going to own a car, you have to follow the maintenance schedule religiously. You can’t just drive until something breaks. Even if you pay someone else to do the actual labor, knowing how your car works and when things need to be maintained/replaced can save you from a much larger repair bill in the future, because you did your due diligence and didn’t just turn up the radio when the car started making a strange noise. You did your research and know exactly what to say to the mechanic when you bring it in, saving you money not only because you addressed a small problem before it became a big one, but also because you’re not someone who can be easily lied to about the actual state of their vehicle so the shop can make more money.
If you can’t handle learning how your car works, then don’t own a car. Stop polluting the air so much and just take public transport instead.
I’m a mechanic (mobile plant, I don’t go near cars etc)
You’re absolutely right though, learn the very bare bones of hour an engine works suck squeeze bang blow.
Spend 100 aud and buy an engine obd2 scanner tool, or go halves etc with your friend.
That will save you thousands when you plug it in and it says (intake sensor failure) for instance you go buy that part use an 8mm socket and replace it. That’s 1500 dollars saved etc.
Especially with youtube, there’s so many cunts showing you how to do the basics on your car.
Beyond all that just service your car on time. Buy some filters and oil do it yourself. If you’re super confused message me I can help, but post on dull men’s club or something and theirs hundreds of people who can help.
Now days we just need to pull together and help each other doing the simplest shit

Cars kill the people walking or biking to work, but obviously the biggest issue is that the people driving them don’t know how to do an oil change.
