Why waste your time. He will not come here when his motor flies apart and admit he was wrong.

Hah! That reminds me of a story my dad told me about my grandfather. He never changed his oil, but he would buy a new car every 3-4 years (before the car had a chance to fail completely). My dad would inherit the cars, and either sell them or keep them depending on the car. On one car, when my dad finally did the servicing, he thought someone had put gear oil in the motor because it ran out like sludge.
