Nissan leaf oil change

Yes electric cars use oil. Some people freak out and insist they do not. It's hilarious to troll them with hard indisputable facts.
Here is a used oil analysis for a nissan leaf that went 68,000 miles on its oil.


Probably would be a good idea to change it around 50,000 miles.
Nissan originally said in 2010 that the oil was good for the life of the vehicle, then by 2015 they recommend it be changed at 110,000 miles, but they also want you to buy a new car at some point.
It's only 1.5 quarts and no filter and it's pretty easy to change
So there's no excuse.
