The "All the gear, no idea" amateur in a shed is bound to know more than a manufacturer that has spent millions on design, development, and research. Be it which oil and how often, which end to put new tyres, how to polish your chassis, or which headlamp bulbs to use. :-)
I do agree with Tigger though, the manufacturers have little interest in long term durability, they want to sell you a new car, or parts at a huge mark up which make repair uneconomic.
