"After 100 years of development, automobiles still need engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze, and so on. Wouldn’t it be great if just a single multipurpose fluid could be circulated from a central reservoir? Each car part would use only the needed properties of the special fluid, exclude detrimental properties, and then send it back. The new system’s worldwide application would ensure a huge market—and academic honors—for the clever developers.
This lucrative breakthrough, however, would not be pioneering. Just such a brilliant integration of fluid properties to the diverse needs of the human body has already been achieved in our blood—in a self-starting process beginning about 15 days after conception." Life Giving Blood |

It's what makes the grass grow.
ETA: The fluid seperation in automobiles is by design. Each system gets a fluid specifically designed for its needs, in a predefined quantity. Seperate reservoirs allow for fluid inspections without disassembling the vehicle, and a contamination of one system doesn't infect the whole car. Systems that need filtering have inexpensive and readily available replacement filters. If a fluid goes bad, you just drain it and fill it up with new fluid. And it's a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to change a paper filter or strainer than a liver or a kidney. Seperate fluids and filtration systems FTW. |
