That's a bit overboard I think. Cars aren't what I grew up working on, so I'd never really expect the same from an average kid in 2015 as I would have in 1979. That's the whole points and plugs deal... But I'd agree that is you can show them oil changes, and perhaps break pad replacement, that's a lot of what's still normal. Oh, and an ODB-II system... The fact that some of us had them out there to change the differential fluids and bleed breaks is another.
I did in hopes of teaching him something that could help, but is a great way to relieve stress from a long week at the office... I mean a great leather chair is helpful, but after a week of 16-18 hour days, working some grease under your fingernails and teaching them about Lava soap is awesome...
