Oil Change is an internet slang term used to describe the act of deleting or wiping out all the previous messages or comments in a conversation or thread. It is similar to getting an oil change for a vehicle, where all the old oil is replaced with fresh oil. In the digital context, the term refers to removing all past messages to start a conversation anew.
Examples:
1. After a heated argument in a chat group, Samantha decided to do an oil change on the conversation, deleting all the messages and hoping for a fresh start.
2. When Alex joined a new online community, they noticed that everyone was referring to previous discussions and inside jokes. Feeling left out, Alex suggested an oil change to clear the conversation history and begin afresh for the benefit of new members.
