Must be a Chaldean thing with the upsell. A whole bunch of franchised oil change and car wash places in Vegas are owned or staffed with Chaldeans and they are hustlers. Or I'm just being racialist.

Random article on plugs I found after the past above: Technical Secrets of an F1 Engine - Learned in Toledo! - Column - Car Reviews - Car and Driver
We would display surface gap plugs at every show I worked and I've heard numerous "experts" make up **** on the spot to look smart in front of their kids/girlfriends.

“Whereas before, Formula One was just for heroes and for big men. You need to eat a lot if you want to drive a Formula One car from 2004 or 2003 at 15, 16 or 17 years old - or even 20 years old - you need to eat a lot. And now you are ready in winter testing already because the cars are half Formula One.”
“I think still the best arrive in Formula One, but they don’t need time to learn the category. They don’t need time to get 100% out of the car, they don’t need two or three years to be physically very strong to finish every single race at 100%. They don’t need the neck or anything, they can be 100% in race two.
“So for this I mean they need less preparation but I still think the best always arrives in Formula One and they show in smaller categories they are winning the series. And then when they arrive in Formula One they deliver, because if someone arrived in Formula One and they didn’t show it then after two or three races they change the driver. You have to race in Formula One and deliver the results that teams are expecting because if not then you will not race for long.”
