If only someone could calmly-and-quietly just go to her car and simply check the oil level and top it off.......thinking about the car here.
One of my home nurses has 35,000 miles on her oil change!

My advice would be to just recommend the oil change, and remind the person if the engine fails it will cost her way more in the long run. Sometimes the only way people will learn is the hard way. Go ahead and buy her an oil change but guess what, chances are when it becomes 5k down the road 10k then 15k her thought will still be... I just got a oil change...
If you start recommending and paying for service you are now on the hook for ANYTHING that goes wrong on that basket case of a car. "It ran just fine until I got that oil change" or it ran just fine until you recommended I had (insert service)
I know this probably sounds cynical and uncaring and there's certainly exceptions out there but this really sounds like a can of worms you don't want to open.

I can’t help but wonder if the same amount of excuses would’ve been given if it was a man in this exact same scenario.
Bring me the car and I will service it. No questions asked. Don't judge me...
It would take a real special person to blame someone else for recommending an oil change and then something happens to go wrong later. Doing the oil change, i.e. touching the vehicle, no way.... Don't touch it with a 40' pole.
Well...my oil change dilemma is over! She was here this morning.
I offered to pay for an oil change at the shop of her choice.
She could not and would not accept my offer.
Guess they are not allowed to accept anything over $5 in value, or she could lose her job.
Oh well, I offered the best I could. Told her to get that oil changed pronto.
Thank you all for the kind suggestions!

You've obviously never endured the unfortunate situation of handling people with zero personal responsibility. The kind of people that look to synthesize blame onto other people for their personal failures. You're lucky.
Hall I have gotten tired on you doing that… And yes you have done that for a long long time on here with me. And yeah as is typical… you start with that in that other post… Whether you want to admit it or not…
Hall don’t think you are a bad guy at all. I really don’t think that is true at all. I believe you are a good, good guy. Who is very, very intelligent and insightful too.
I think you add a lot of good, good posts on here.
I mean that Hall. You do.

He's probably at least topping it off.
You've got a really ethical operation and person! Move Heaven and Earth to keep them in your circle for as long as you need them!
CNAs scope of care is very limited.
You can give them anything you like if you marry them first. 
MAN, did you hit a bullseye!
If you want to really nit-pic, they don't LOOK to synthesis it, they do it automatically (ha-ha)

it's the hardest job in healthcareToo late to edit.
CNAs work hard and under appreciated, also underpaid.
They are surely Angels on earth!CNAs work hard and under appreciated, also underpaid.
My Daughter was a CNA a couple years, before earning her RN.
She has told me all about the job
Now as a RN, she is paid quite well and loves the job.
Now works at the VA hospital. Says the Vets are appreciative of the help and give compliments.
At private hospitals, the patients just moan and complain.
