Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Look, even if the fluid change interval is longer than 120k miles and would coincide with a rebuild, it's still an interval, not "lifetime." I mean, you wouldn't rebuild the part and put back the old fluid, would you?
My oil is hard and strong. Like all the hardened steel inside the fluid. We've built up years of trust and bonds. You don't think the gear oil would do me like that. It's like marriage, for life right?
It isn't an interval, though, it is lifetime. I'm apparently continually failing to make that point.
120k is only the warranty period on the drivetrain/battery, and I'm using it as an example, for parts that have zero maintenance, and are guaranteed for an amount of miles most people never even put on an ICE vehicle that otherwise requires oil changes every 3k-5k miles.
Irrelevant. Even being in the position of having a drive unit serviced at all is outside the norm or intent for lifetime of the vehicle.
Maybe most first owners never put that many miles on their vehicle, but lots of vehicles do, in fact, get that many miles on them eventually. Those subsequent owners need to understand that "lifetime" isn't really "lifetime" and that those fluids actually do need to be changed at some point!
At a point where a drive unit has to be rebuilt, it's going to be hundreds of thousands more miles than an ICE would have on it when it requires a rebuild, and engine rebuild means "lifetime" is over. It's effectively a new engine after that.
Boy howdy, do I have a bridge to sell you!
