If you drive a EV, no oil or oil filter changes at all![/quote]

There are definitely fluid and lube services required on most EV’s. [/quote]

"Oil and oil filter" pretty obviously refer to engine/motor oil, not to lubricants for door hinges and the like.  Vehicles without internal combustion engines (ICE) use neither motor oil nor oil filters.  They may require transmission/transaxle or other fluid exchanges, but those change intervals will be much less frequent than the oil/filter changes required of internal combusion engines.  No radiator fluid replacements will be required, either, since no engine cooling system using a fluid-filled radiator is present on EVs.

Routine maintenance for EVs is largely confined to occasionally replacing tires, windshield wipers, brake pads and possibly rotors, and cabin air filters, and eventual replacement of the battery.  None of the maintenance associated with ICEs is required, i.e., spark plugs, engine oil, engine oil filter, air filter, radiator coolant, and radiator hoses.[/quote]
