Car Maintenance Tips Quiz
Always Let Your Car Warm Up. True or False
False!
When cars had carburetors, they needed to warm up to get the right fuel mixture going, so everyone sat in their driveways for 15 minutes before moving an inch. Life was simpler then. Today there is fuel injection and that changed everything. Just put it in drive and go already.
Replace Your Shocks Every 50,000 Miles
True!
The average lifespan of auto shocks is 50,000 miles. So, depending on the condition of your roads and how you drive, you might start saving up for new shocks at around 40,000 miles. If you put off shock replacement then the tires, bushings and mounts start wearing away, driving up a bigger repair bill.
Keychains Wear Out Your Ignition Switch
True!
If your keychain has a bunch of keys on it and cute decorative items, it is far too heavy. Using a big old heavy keychain is putting too much weight on your ignition switch. Use a breakaway keychain to remove your car keys when it is time to drive or keep your car key off your beautifully decorated keychain that can open every door in town.
Change Your Oil Every 3,000 Miles Religiously
False!
While it is true that when your daily drive includes dirt roads, dust storms, lots of stopping and loads of debris on the road, you will need 3,000 mile oil changes, but the average driver does not. Your car manual will advise you on how often, but it is usually around 10,000 miles.
