He still loves her. Or she may have asked him to.Why did my dad check the oil and water in my moms car when she came to his house yesterday to see me?
I believe he is a good man who still cares for her. She is taking care of you and he wants her to be able to continue doing that safely. When my parents divorced when I was 10yrs old, my Dad still came over and checked her oil and water in her car, he also leveled our mobil home (which was a great BIG job!). He fixed the heater for us and some delivery svcs for us so that we had a washer and dryer. He continued to pay her alimony even though the court order was expired. When I asked him this same ?, he said it was because he wanted ME to be taken care of as well as possible, and even though they were not together anymore, he still cared. I respect him for all of that.


Edit: He is also trying to instill in you (by his actions) THE system of right and wrong. It is just the right thing to do. You should be grateful that they are still in a friendly relationship....when s0ooo many others are not.
Even though your parents are divorced it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about her. During the time that they were married he either found out that your mom was lax about taking care of her own car or it was just one of those things that he always took care of. It sound to me like your Dad is a thoughtful guy.
Well he probably still has some feelings for her, even if he deosn't want to get back together. They probably spent a lot of time knowing each other and maybe thats his way of trying to remain friendly. You should be so lucky that your parents are maintaining such a relationship as a lot of parents become bitter and hateful after a divorce. I wouldn't assume that he wants her back or anything, thats just something they have to work out. Time will tell.
Maybe he wanted to do something to impress your mom that he used to do this to her when he was still in her life. He wanted to get back together with your mom.


Or... because he knows that you will sit in that car anyway, he looks after you... But that really involved caring of her too...
Well, even though they are divorced doesn't mean they don't care for each other's well being. Your dad is obviously a very considerate man. Good for him... and good for you!
He still cares for her. Maybe that is something he has done from the beginning... He cares about her safety... My dad does the same thing, even though they have been divorced for over 20 years...
Because you ride in her car. It's in his interests to make sure the car that chauffeurs you around is in good working condition.
that's great that dad still cares for mom and her safety you should be proud of dad for thinking of her. give him some credit some parents can still get along after divorce that's great.
He wanted to make sure she had oil and water in her car so it wouldn't break down. He's a good man.
