What Constitutes a true BITOGer

Buy a 10 year old beater with unknown maintenance, worn out suspension, barely passing emissions, but all you’re interested in is “what’s the best oil for it”.
What if we have all these things, is there some like higher grade BITOG nirvana status?
Recommends 500, 1000, 2500 miles break in oil changes and 5K OCI’s on all new vehicles for maximum reliability. Buys only used cars from grannies with 10K OCI, all short trips, and no break in change.

By the time a true bitog’er gets a new car, it’s more than double the last one, and more than a year’s tuition at the most prestigious colleges in the USA. He/she doesn’t worry about it, but can’t stop wondering why the $1.39 any size fries 1x/day has disappeared from the McD’s mobile app
I dunno. I feel like I see lots of posts along the lines of:
-What oil should I tell my mechanic to use?
-I gathered all these good oil/filter/parts for my mechanic to put in this weekend. Is it the best?
-Amsoil recommendation = certification but my $22 LED headlight toys from Amazon certainly aren't blinding to oncoming drivers.
-Think that positive displacement oil pumps flow linearly with RPM and absolutely not as a function of backpressure.
-Nightmares of an oil filter bypass valve leaking/opening.

Feels validated by posting in a thread like one.
You cross reference your LAWN MOWER oil filter to a larger one for more capacity… and you run a HDEO in it.
When getting to know people for the first time, one of the first five questions you ask them is what oil they run.
Yes. Pablo (and a few others) are in this ethereal layer
.
Yeah magical powers. Like I go to a parts counter in any given auto parts place, ask for 3 feet of 3/8" fuel line, and the counter person asks me: "What make and model?"Yes. Pablo (and a few others) are in this ethereal layer
Knows Toyota is out of their minds if they really think WS is "lifetime" fluid. Blasphemy!
Pretty much know and SAY factory lifetime fluids are not.

They believe that oil and additives can fix poor engineering and proceed to go down the Hoodoo Voodoo route by employing secret elixirs and flushes to amuse themselves with rather mystical results.
When that fails they watch a Lake Speed video and share it here.

If you are a true BITOG . You have a mentally issue .
Check and Mate. I go that mentally issue
If you have watched a video of a oil change on a car your considering buying just to make sure it's a user friendly car to service and take this into consideration on the purchase decision.
Bonus points if you have then done research on what filter and oil you would use before even buying the car.
