I actually worked next to the original Dinan for years, we did a lot of minor body work for them… definitely some true car car enthusiasts out there 😎 When they moved out we bought the building 😉

How do they refill their oil every 1000 miles without opening the hood?

At the jiffy lube, or perhaps more likely, the dealership service center.
