Gt7 needs a way to show if your car needs an oil change in change instead of going car to car
Gt3 to Gt6 used to have oil change notification on in-game hud for that.Gt7 needs a way to show if your car needs an oil change in change instead of going car to car
The number of "QoL" features we lost since GTS is unbelievable (and previous GTs).Gt3 to Gt6 used to have oil change notification on in-game hud for that.
On that point yes, with other minute things like car wash and others.QoL would be removing oil change.
Your mechanics-team is doing this anyway, without needing to tell them...

I respectfully disagree on this point. Only for the fact that it's been a feature in the other GT numbered titles. Used to have to get an oil change for any car you got from the UCD to get a 10-15 hp bump (I can't remember if this was ever explicitly explained or something that was discovered). I don't think the car wash ever did anything practical, but the animations used to be a bit more fun to watch.On that point yes, with other minute things like car wash and others.
There is no right or wrong opinion at all, never. Not only because it is not our idea that is implemented in the game.There is nothing wrong with a little nostalgia.

These animations for GT Auto in GT7 are underwhelming, with the wide-body conversion being the only exception. They have this nice rendered garage to do something cool and instead you get this boring pouring oil or guy with a sponge.

A payment plan would make buying some of these cars easier with the modest reward payments lolGive me a maintenance plan where this is all taken care off automatically 😂
And while we’re at it, let me get cars on leasing 😝
Opinions are just that: opinions.Only simpletons think every opinion is valid.
Absolutely false.Opinions are just that: opinions.
They cant carry either of the binary options of right or wrong, because then it would either be fact or untrue.
Opinions can well be discussed over and you can say it is a good one or a bad one, but they can simply never be anything else and every person is entitled to having opinions and voicing them.
carful you might give Kaz new monetisation ideasGive me a maintenance plan where this is all taken care off automatically 😂

It’s your opinion that they are always wrong, it’s not actually a fact. The reason why it’s not a fact is because their statement is not a falsifiable one so there is no way to objectively determine whether it’s right or wrong.Absolutely false.
For example, some people have the opinion that "______ people shouldn't have rights simply by virtue of who they are." That opinion is always wrong and people who say it out loud should be ostracized for that view.

I just avoid all that completely by going to Retry -> Settings -> Car Settings after every race and never worry about putting any miles on my cars, needing to change the oil or do any of the other periodic maintenance in GT Auto.I only played GT1 and 2 before I got in to GT7, so I skipped all the original oil change/car wash/etc. implementation in the early titles. That said, I do find it strange that the game expects you to manually change the oil in your car and get it washed every once in a while because apparently this stuff breaks down, but when you buy a set of racing hard tires you seemingly have an infinite supply of them that you never need to go back and buy more. It doesn't matter how many races you run or how many tire changes you make. Your tires supply never runs out. If you buy a paint color or a set of wheels you can paint every car in your garage with that color or don every car with that same set of wheels yet you only purchase them once. Uhhh... what???
I can understand wanting to implement some "realism" in to a racing game (it's kind of cool, actually) but why half ass it by making you get annoying oil changes every once in a while, but a major real world wear and tear item like tires (in a racing game) gets a pass? It would be easy enough to lower the price of tires but state in races where tire wear is on that you are required to have, for example, 3 sets of tires to compete in this race. So it actually costs you, say 600, credits to enter the race. You already have the race shop right there on the screen where you can purchase more tires and not have to go through all the menus to buy them. Maybe based on your skill level, or menu book level, difficulty setting, etc. PD could come up with a way of offering you a "sponsorship" with Bridgestone, Pirelli or Dunlop (whoever they have as a sponsor of the actual game) where you may get a discount on tire prices or if you place well enough in a race (say you podium or even win) you get 5 free sets of racing tires for promoting the brand.
If all that is too complicated, then PD should just implement a "perform scheduled maintenance" option where you get an oil change, freshen up the suspension, the engine, etc. and you get 10 sets of tires. Say it costs 50k credits (likely would vary depending on the PP level or class of vehicle) and you are required to perform it every ~1000 miles you put on a car. That would feel a bit more realistic for a racing game. At least real-world wear and tear occurs on your vehicle and you are required to perform maintenance to keep your car in tip top shape. Either that or remove all maintenance. Oil changes don't make any sense if you don't require any other maintenance on your high performance racing machine.
Sure, that's not annoying to do at all.I just avoid all that completely by going to Retry -> Settings -> Car Settings after every race and never worry about putting any miles on my cars, needing to change the oil or do any of the other periodic maintenance in GT Auto.
I’m 99.9% certain oil change prices do vary depending on the car you’re using when you go to GT Auto for maintenance. I’m not exactly sure how they figure the prices, or if Huracan and Fit prices specifically are the same or not, but I swear I’ve seen oil change prices range anywhere from 300 Cr. to maybe 450 Cr. but I haven’t had to change oil in a long time. It might just be different between road and racing cars.I'd actually like to see oil changes with varying prices. There's no way a Huracan oil change costs the same as a Honda Fit.
That only works until PD gets around to patching it out.I just avoid all that completely by going to Retry -> Settings -> Car Settings after every race and never worry about putting any miles on my cars, needing to change the oil or do any of the other periodic maintenance in GT Auto.
The oil change price, and indeed most of the parts/maintenance costs, are based on the "zero-mile" price of the car when it was put into the code. There are 4 groups (the listed price is the oil change cost):I’m 99.9% certain oil change prices do vary depending on the car you’re using when you go to GT Auto for maintenance.

@Tommy_D Well, slightly annoying, but far less annoying and much faster than changing the oil or doing the other maintenance stuff. shrugs
EDIT: Just realized it may not be faster for PS4 users because of screen loading times on PS4, but on PS5 its takes me about 3 seconds to do.

Just like ACC had brake disc/pad change in pit menu during endurance racing.Why is it that we still have 1 type of service item to do on cars?
GT3 brought in oil changes.
Nothing has been added since.
No brake pads, No brake discs, No coolant changes, No Transmission/diff fluid changes, No Power steering fluid changes.
No Belts or chains, No clutches, etc.
All those service items.
Heck in endurance racing brake pad changes are actually done and sometimes it is a requirement for that race.
