Oil changes need some modification

But simulator.

Riiight.
Because irl, changing the oil on a brand new car results in a 10-30 hp gain. Always. And that hp starts to drop again after a little more than 100 mls.

But seriously, with the amount of cars in m garage and the deteriorating speed of the oil, the whole oil changing process gets very tedious. Oil changes and car wash were a fun idea when they first came out, but it's gotten old now.
I'd happily pay for a mechanic to take care of all that stuff. Jay Leno style.

I'm still at a loss as to why a new car even needs a new oil change. Also how does a car body need to be fixed before you need to change the oil or fix the engine?
OT I guess if you do that much racing on line and you actually lose that much HP it would be nice to have this feature. If you are only looking for a few HP I would think a slight build change with the help of HP reduction or ballast would get you the numbers you are looking for.

I would imagine that I am not the only one who finds it a bit tedious having to go to Gt Auto to change the oil in each car and probably not the only one who would like to see some additional options related to this feature.

In career mode it is no big deal, You get in the car, change the oil and off you go, possibly change it again before you go to the garage to get another car.

Where it starts to become a problem is when you buy several cars at once or when you are racing online. If you forgot to change your oil before joining the lobby or if you are starting to build up some miles on the car then in order to recover the HP you need to exit the lobby and go to GT auto to get an oil change which is a major hassle for everyone.

I think we need 2 more options added into the game for oil changes

1: Allow the oil to be changed while in an online lobby
2: Allow the oil to be changed on multiple cars at once while in the garage area by placing a check mark next to each car you want to change the oil in and then be charged accordingly.

This would be so much more user friendly than the current way you have to do it and I would think it should be a simple thing to add to the game.

What do you guys think about this idea?

I think they should just scrap oil changes altogether!

100% agree. Just need to add a visual indicator in the garage of the physical condition of each car. Should be a bar or a color to tell me the status of the oil and rigidity etc. Dont make this a guessing game.
