RE: You VS One

"To change the oil in your car

1) Turn off the engine.
2) ..."

Now, you could write

"To change the oil in your car

1) You must absolutely under all circumstances without exception every
time turn off the engine.
2) ..."

However, I think the imperative covers things without must.

Cheers,

Sean

I generally agree with your observation, Milan, but in the example Keith
provided, I think the "must" is implied.

Simplest, but leaves out the possibility of including "must". It may be
important to better ensure the reader complies.
