Wait, you said headlight fluid? Nobody told me about that! First blinker
fluid, then exhaust bearings, now I've got to to check the headlight fluid?

Went to FLAPS to get bits for SWMBA korean car.
She took the car to the dealer for oil change yesterday and had already
done the 30k service a few months ago. Service dork comes up with a
list of items that need attention. Bunch of DIY items that they hoped
to snag big $$$ for. Thing that got me wound up was the battery. She
has had the car for three years, it was a dealer demonstrator when
purchased. 2009 MY, made in 2008, sold in 2010. Dork come out with
the battery is dead and you have to pay to get a new one. I call
shenanigans. Thing has 30+k miles and the battery is dead, not covered
by warranty, and she has never allowed the battery to drain.
I concede that five years is a bit on the early side to die, but the
thing should last a bit longer in my book. Dealer got two years use
out of the battery and then passed on what may have been abused at that
time, but will not cover it. That is bad business to me. I think it
should be worth keeping a customer to swallow the $100 battery
replacement.
ANYWAY, hit FLAPS to get the wipers, some washer fluid, and license
plate lamps. There on the shelf is a box of 2.5 gallons of Diesel
Exhaust Fluid. First thing that comes to my mind is Headlight fluid.
Maybe this is a profit center item for stupid customers. WTF? Turns
out it is AdBlue. Donkey pee.
