That isnt what I meant. I meant, pretend you are the lube shop, pay yourself with your rideshare money except pay yourself at real rates. Run the numbers on both businesses.

Understand?

Me thinks you are just trying to regurgitate something a professor tried to impress you with calling it "hidden labor costs" or some other nonsense.

I will explain my choices:
My car takes synthetic oil so going to the $19.99 (For most vehicles) lube-n-tune is not an option.

I can drive 30 mins to my mechanic, wait 30 mins for him to change the oil, drive back home 30 mins , and pay my mechanic $40.
OR
I can by the oil at Costco for $15, the filter at Walmart for $5 and then spend 30 minutes changing it myself.

Let me know what your professor says.

So I can stop trying to not be confrontational now then.

You are performing free labor on your car to boost your rideshare profits on paper. You could just go work at the lube monkey store for free and get the same results as doing the work on your car yourself.

Doing work for free is doing work for free. It doesnt matter why you did it, you did it for free.

If an oil change is going to make the difference between loss and profit you’re already failing.

Who said anything about it being the difference between profit and loss?
If trolling is the the difference between having a life and losing at life you're already failing.
