learning about cars

I just finished reading The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian. Surprisingly well written. Makes you wonder where the line between creativity and delusion is. One of the better picks in this year of books.

I need to learn more about cars. It's a thing I intend to accomplish but never do anything about. At the Jiffy Lube a service guy was telling me I needed something, and I gave it my okay. He stepped into the garage, raised his fist and shouted, "yeah--I made a sale!" I told counter guy I changed my mind. How important are differential fluid and transmission flushes? Counter guy was kind enough to recommend another mechanic.
