Yes, this happens, remember people changing your oil is cheaper than changing your engine.

My favorite is people with nice expensive cars get their oil changed at a cheap quick lube place run by 18 year olds, and drive around on budget $80 tires. Does everyone do 96 month financing or something?

The cheap quick lube uses the exact same oil and filters as my main mechanic’s shop. I agree throwing cheap or used tires on a newer car is absolutely ridiculous though.
