Your point maybe true. Are you going to notice that you spent under $50 every few months to do an oil change yourself? Dinner for 4 at Wendy’s cost you more than that now, and no one shakes a stick

That poor engine. I’ve recently seen one from BeardedFordTech that was so bad he had to keep poking the oil drain hole with his finger to knock the sludge chunks blocking it loose. It looked like black chunky cottage cheese. Turns out the drivers of that truck (he told me that drivers were on rotation and never the same rotation so they couldn’t figure out who was doing it) just kept resetting the oil change light whenever it would pop up and keep driving rather than taking it in for service.Found the video.
I don’t eat fast food and neither does my family. We eat at a restaurant once a month and as a family of 6, we spend at least a Benjamin. We eat whole, unprocessed, added sugar free the other 99.9% of the time. I’m an amateur bodybuilder in my spare time. However, that’s a strawman.
I do notice that I spend a significant amount of time riding, rather than wrenching. I’ll likely lay down 20k+ miles on my bike this year due to travel schedule and CVMA events. I already have to worry about changing tires each year and their inherent removal/installation work and cost. Only having to change my oil once this year and not stressing about going over simplifies my life and leaves more time to enjoy the wind and brotherhood; most of all it leaves more time spent with my wife and sons.

I think, by definition, one must actually change the oil to have an oil change interval, right?

I'd say it's quite relevant, because it's *certain* that your healthy eating and supplements as an amateur bodybuilding are *absolutely* raising the cost of your food. Which means it's entirely germane to the point made by @Bullwinkle007 that the $50 or so per month is a rounding error for most households. You're probably burning that in just supplements.

That’s awesome that he’s at that level! His quads and delts are next level. I am nowhere near IFBB Amateur rank and only wish to participate locally. My supplements likely aren’t at all financially close to what he’s spending. I keep it pretty simple and inexpensive. Most of my protein requirements come from food, rather than powders. My supps are OTC fish oils, multis, mag, and joint supplements because arthritis sucks. The other supps are prescribed and I don’t exceed those for the time being.
As to its relevance to Bullwinkle’s point, you fell for the strawman. The debate point was the cost of either short or extended OCIs. My point in support of extended OCIs was infallible so he set up a strawman to say “well it’s not like you’d notice the difference in cost because fast food makes up the difference.” which is entirely not the premise of the debate. Speaking mathematically, I’m very likely to notice the near $200 delta between short and long OCIs. His “$50” was a minimization of my literal cost delta.
