[@daronkapeghian9834]

Here's another very common mistake. I learned this one 30 yrs ago from my cousin who is a mechanic. Most people, when parking, put their car in park and then set the parking brake. When you take your foot off the brake pedal, you will notice the car will move a little before it stops. This puts tension on the Transmission gears and shift lever. Over time, you could run the risk of not being able to shift out of park. Instead, put the car in Neutral, set the parking brake. Take foot off brake pedal. Once the car comes to a complete stop, then put it into Park.

[@TheChaosWithin]

I do that all the time. Learned from my man

[@georgeandcarmen]

Good one! My Dad taught me that when teaching me to drive:)

[@KevinBenecke]

Ideally you should use the parking break no matter how you park. Especially if you parallel park a lot. It's a good idea just in case someone loses control and slams into the front or back of your car so that force isn't transferred to the parking mechanism. Another thing you can do for those who don't use them. If your on a small incline, we know that quite often the car rolls just a bit when put in park. That's because of the slop in the transmission since the breaks have nothing to do with the transmission. It has nothing to do with the parking mechanism. We know that quite often when we stop on a hill depending on which way you were going when going down the hill that we tend to get the bouncing effect. This is why things in the transmission tends to get damaged. To stop this bouncing effect from happening, put the gear selector in the opposite gear from the direction you were going and down on the hill. You've probably noticed that when you were going forward up a hill, the car doesn't bounce or up the hill in reverse. For example, if you go forward into a parking space that's going downhill, put your car in reverse for a moment until reverse engages. Then shift to park. Likewise, if you back into a space going down hill, shift into drive until it engages, then shift to park. This will stop or lessen the bouncing effect you get when parking on a hill. This works because by going into the opposite gear allows the transmission to tighten up to the uphill direction thus preventing the car from rolling in the opposite direction. But by chance you do get stuck in park, all you need to do is find someone with a bumper that'll line up with yours to slightly push the car forward just enough to take the pressure off of the parking mechanism. This will then allow you to shift out of park. If you can get enough people to push just slightly would work too.

[@mchenrynick]

#9 Tire Pressure: Pretty much any modern car has a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, or TPMS. These are special detectors installed in with your tires and will trigger a low tire light on the dash. Just don't ignore the warning. If it keeps coming back on after adding air to your tires, there may be a slow leak in at least one of them.

When you turn on your engine, leave it running for 30 seconds to a minute before driving.

[@LuigiCotocea]

Also for heatting up

[@RageQuit576]

You don't need to do that.

[@alexzhou7]

Luigi Cotocea u don’t need to do that anymore. In my bmw manual they literally say, just drive off immediately to warm up the engine

[@ashishganatra2426]

You don't need to "warm up" a modern day engine anymore BUT you should let it idle anywhere between 10-30 seconds before driving so that the oil pump can pump the oil to every part of the engine before you go. Also if it's really cold outside, you actually should let it idle and warm up a little bit because going over 3k rpms on a cold engine isn't good for it and cold temperatures make the oil thicker

[@ryans413]

At least wait until it comes down to an idle if you don’t have a tachometer wait until you hear the engine quite down. Plus don’t over rev the engine until it’s up to temperature.

[@EdwinvandenAkker]

I have a recurring calender event in my phone, titled *"Check car"* I have it set on the first of every month. In the notes section I write the miles _(ok, KM's here in Europe)_ I also check the oil and other fluids. Using the calendar app in a smartphone is very handy.

[@rickysimms5]

A tip, don't drive with your hand resting on the gear stick, like the keys tip, it wears the gear stick mechanism making it harder to change gear over time.

[@ricerocket_ed6650]

True. Although I think FWD cars with cable transmissions are unaffected by resting your hand on the selector.

[@themunnabhai007]

i am addicted to rest my hand on gear stick, now i will avoid. thanks, its a good suggestion.

[@mau5lover2000]

Heres one you missed, this one applies to mainly older cars but still good to think twice about. Starting your car to warm it up in winter is a good practice for any car however, a few years ago my neighbor had her car stolen from her driveway because she had started it with the keys. What i did to avoid this problem is i had a keyless entry and alarm system with remote start installed on my car and so far it has been worth every penny but if you don't want to spend that kind of money you can simply get an extra key for your car and lock it after u start it however, a thief can still break the window and drive off with your car.

[@charlespeters3069]

Don't forget to put your gas cap back. A loose or missing gas cap will cause the 'check engine' light to come on. If you take your car to a reputable mechanic, he'll put one on and send you on your way; but a non-reputable mechanic may charge you hundreds of dollars for a $15 gas cap.

[@mrgerman2b]

Why not go to the auto part store, pay the $15 for the cap, and put it on yourself?

[@srihanplayz]

That's what you said 👍👍

[@HR-wd6cw]

All of these things rely on one thing... they assume your transmission is electronically controlled. Older automatics (such as those made prior to about the late 80's) were mostly mechanical so some of these features may not be present, such as mechanisms to prevent you from going from drive to reverse while driving. Modern transmissions will prevent this because all commands go through a computer before being executed, and the car/power train computer will prevent some of these things from happening, but if you do this in an older automatic transmission it may very well let you do some of these things.

[@miscellaneousstuff8362]

Please make video on old, retro cars. Too much electronics with newer cars which makes you depend on services. That's why I love old timers. When driving an older vehicle like we have in family, it is best if the driver has mechanical skills. Even better would be a mechanic with driving skills! Our car can be started without battery. Most of the things can be fixed with insulating tape and a piece of wire. Leaks under the car is a good sign, usually when the old timer does not leak it means nothing is left in a car. Old timer gives problems but it never fails, new cars won't give you any problems but they fail you in worse possible moment. Sometimes we ended driving old car with two cylinders, sometimes with no light but we always made it home. The only problem is to find car service who still remembers how to operate with a wrench and hammer. When we bring this car to service they beg us to send for a priest, to say -dust to dust to this car. My Grandpa tell them no way, guys, this car has been on the road for over 50 years and will be for another 50.

[@ricerocket_ed6650]

[@davep6977]

Another reason for #7. A mechanic told me when my fuel pump went out. The pumps are submersible. They rely on being under gas to run cool. Not only do they run warmer on a empty tank but the screen gets plugged with that sediment you mentioned. To replace the pump, they must drop/remove the tank. Your choice. $20 for gas or $400 for a new fuel pump

Unfortunately, finding a car with a manual transmission is getting really hard. The last one I bought was a 2011 Ford Fusion, which was extremely rare, now unavailable. Every Corvette has the paddle shifter, which I do not count as a manual. One thing that really pisses me off is to read an ad that says "manual transmission" when it doesn't have a clutch. I'm sorry, but having the manual mode on an automatic transmission does not make it a manual transmission. Any transmission that uses hydraulic or electric power to shift is an automatic no matter what the liars tell us.

[@KevinBenecke]

With these you had to use the parking break. And when the battery was dead and you had no one to jump you, you could just pop the clutch. I also prefer the old manual 4X4 shift lever and manual locking hubs.

[@jayaparthanj8317]

You should come to India, where 90 pc of the cars have manual transmission.

[@ivornworrell]

hey, another v. important thing to avoid is overfilling the gas tank, bcz an air-pocket should always be left btwn the top of the gas & the top of the gas compartment to allow for gas-expansion when the gas heats up.overfilling will cause the gas to overflow into another receptacle which was designed to in-take air only, & ig gas gets into this receptacle, it's a couple thousand to replace it!

Agreed on so many levels, my father has always had each of us in our family to have three keys total for our vehicles, one for if we misplace our main keys and one for at home in the event of an emergency which makes sense to a degree.

#2 only applies to tranismissions that are electronically controlled . Older transmissions may not have this feature. Some have a lock/prevention mechanism that will cause the transmission to slip (but not go into reverse) thus making a clicking noise. I know because I accidently put an older car (late 80's) into reverse accidently while moving forward and the trans just made a clicking noise.

About blind spots: There is a right and a wrong way to adjust your wing mirrors. You don't need to see the side of your own car in the wing mirrors. You do need to see vehicles coming up on your flank. Adjust your mirrors the way professional rally drivers do. Just as a vehicle disappears at the edge of your front mounted rear view mirror, it should become visible in your wing mirror. That means tilt your mirrors outwards. Unless you are very short so your seat is very far forward, your mirrors will most likely need to be adjusted outwards as far as they will go. Angling your mirror this way eliminates the so-called blind spot. Make it a practice never to linger in another driver's blind spot. You are vulnerable to any sudden lane change the other driver may make. Either slow a bit to drop back or speed up to pass the other vehicle quickly.

Putting your car in reverse while driving forward can make the back wheels lock up and put u into a slide. That's a fact, well on pre 2000 cars. I was having an emergency in my car, had a B&M racing shifter installed, tried knocking it into neutral but got reverse and I slid sideways at 70mph in traffic, got it into neutral and saved everything.

[@shawnpa]

#7 is correct. Keep it above a quarter tank, but for the purpose of fuel pump lubrication. There isn't sediment in most gas tanks. Unless you live in a very dry and dusty area,I can see that then, but you still have a fuel filter. I've seen the inside of tanks.

[@brightwriter]

When backing up toward a wall, especially at night, [don't forget to] look in the rear view mirror and confirm that the brake lights all work. Exterior lights can be checked by turning them and the hazard warning lights on and walking around the car, but verifying that the brake lights all come on when they should is more difficult. A loose brake-pedal wire (happened to me) can go unnoticed until you get rear-ended. I identified the loose connection before any accident occurred, fortunately. Don't forget to learn whether the parking brake affects both rear wheels or just one. On an icy interstate highway, I tried to apply the parking brake to retain full front-wheel traction and slow down at the same time. I went for a spin--literally!--and smashed up the car pretty badly. No injury and no other vehicles were hit. It was a heavily insured rental. I got off easy.

Number 7 is slightly wrong. Running low on gas won’t hurt the cat, but can damage the fuel system (pump, injectors). Really the only two things that commonly damage a cat are rust and the car over-fueling. Rust is obvious enough, but over-fueling can melt the precious metals inside. Running low on gas could potentially clog it in theory, but chances are the injectors would go first because of the large particles. Great video and great channel.

Reason?

[@DAN007thefoxx1]

A few extra pointers: 1. If theres any contamination in the gas tank its gonna get into your fuel system anyway because its drawn from the bottom. 2. Never attempt to start a car that is out of gas. Especially if its a modern one. Modern cars have electric pumps in the tank and a lack of liquid gasoline leads to the pump frying itself due to lack of lubercation. 3. Don't ignore leaks of any kind for too long. In old cars a drop or two on the floor every now and then is normal, but if you see it gushing out, dont drive it. 4. Don't freak out about a check engine light. If it comes on and stays solid its usually no big deal. If it flashes, then its a serious problem. And some OBD2 scan tools are cheap and can tell you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it. Those will work from 1996-present day. 5. Don't ignore strange noises. Its trying to tell you something. 6. Dont run it hard until it warms up.

On my car I skipped the 3,000 mile oil changes, turning my car in for preventive maintenances costing $1,000 each, and filling my tank at 1/4 left.

[@jayson657]

Don’t shift from Reverse to Drive or Drive to Reverse until the car has come to a complete and total stop. If you don’t stop completely You’ll be using the clutch pack inside the transmission that changes the gears as a brake which will wear it out prematurely and cause it to slip and not want to go in reverse. Don’t force more gas into your tank after the gas pump stops. Overfilling the tank can force gasoline down the filler neck vent tube and into the charcoal filter canister. The gasoline will eventually destroy the filter material in the canister and allow air into the fuel system making your “Check Engine” light come on and give you an “Evap” code. Don’t ever drive though deep water because water can make its way into your transmission through a small vent tube that is on top of it and destroy it. Don’t ever mix up positive and negative when you jump start your car. Your battery is 12 volts with a negative body ground. Many of computers in your car run on only +5 volts and have resistors on the + side to reduce the incoming voltage but they share a common - body ground. If you attach +12 volts to the negative ground you will force +12 volts into those 5 volt electronics through the grounded side and fry them.

Always park in a way that front is facing the road. More precisely, use reverse gear for parking.

A problem with overfilling the oil is that the rotating crankshaft then works like a washing machine agitator or the blades in a kitchen blender. The oil in the oil pan is turned into a froth, and this aerated oil has ineffective lubricating qualities as the oil pump tries to push froth rather than liquid throughout the engine.

Things to avoid is using your phone while driving Like if agree

[@melly9204]

karthiik murthy I’m grateful to whoever installed the Bluetooth system in my 23-year-old Civic so I can make phone calls using that if need be. I’ve only done it once and it came in extremely handy!

[@cysion9993]

Here in Australia they installed cameras on the side of roads similar to speed cameras that capture a picture if it sees you using your phone. It won’t be very kind on your wallet if you get caught

[@bishophollywood3309]

Great advice.

Some manufacturers phased out the "oil dipstick" on certain models, so that's not entirely true. They rely on oil life sensors and level sensors to determine how much oil is in the pan unfortunately.

I remember once my dad forgot to put his car on park and hit my grandmas house and everyone in my grandmas house which wee 10 people ran so fast outside xd it was just a tiny scratch

[@diMizza09]

it wasn't mentioned, but you have to ensure you have lots of fluids for the power windows and never leave them down in a rainstorm

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Really? Anyone who drives should already know this... Is this really new or news to anyone? #LeGourmetTV

[@thekingofgames6293]

You'd be surprised how many people dont know common sense points these days

[@EdwinvandenAkker]

I thought it was a good idea to teach my sister how to check her oil, since she only have it checked for her yearly maintenance "date" She also removed the LPG _(Natural Gass)_ tank, since she thinks it's scary to fill it. And here in The Netherlands LPG is about 20~30% of the regular price!

[@marwanahmed6294]

lol i thought so too ,

[@4mySweetheart369]

I find the common sense really isn't that common anymore.

[@ixd7ev254]

If you put the car in reverse while driving then chances are you’re grinding your transmission gears into bits of metal and putting it on park while driving then you’re not only grinding some of the gears but the breaks too.

[@jeffsteffen211]

This is why I drive an old school car with a manual transmission.

[@normanleger247]

Just two things I noticed in the video. 1) All cars have a dipstick to check your oil. That is not true. My 2018 Volvo XC60 T6 doesn’t have a dipstick. You cannot check your oil. The computer will let you know your oil level. 2) No one’s gets their “tires balanced”. They are made of rubber. You have the WHEELS balanced. I have never seen the lead weights, used for balancing, fastened to the rubber tire. My comments are only meant to not confuse new drivers/car owners.

Hey, please mention that when in summer or in hot days if car is parked under open sky, do not turn on engine, a.c. immediately; allow them to cool down.

[@rgvsmanian2010]

Amazing video. Superbly explained.

[@mohammadshafeeq.m.s2551]

Gud information 👍👍

[@domenictaraborrelli2]

on the topic of fuel fuel tank newer cars have fuel pumps installed in the fuel tank to keep them cool .Run fuel below a quarter tank exposes pump and cause pump to get hot. And tire pressure should always be checked when tires are cold,when checking hot air expands and will give you an incorrect reading.

[@Lastedestiny]

I had someone come to the shop with engine troubles. I checked the oil to start things off to find black sludge and bits of metal. I ask “When was the last time you changed the oil” He said “Change what oil?” I ask “Do you know what a oil change is?” He said “No. Is it important?” I said “YES. How long have you had this car?” He said “Almost 2 years” I had nothing to say after that 😅 my hope in the human race dwindled that day

[@ProAdi96]

Well, my mechanic once told me that he had a customer with a golf that didn't have oil changed for 4 years... and somehow still was able to drive. The oil was then changed, and a month later the engine failed.

[@hannahadkins9764]

Check water level, especially in the summer. And don’t check it right after driving because you can burn your hand.wait about 30 minutes. In the winter use antifreeze because water alone expands when frozen and can cause damage.

[@hannahadkins9764]

You should keep all fluids in check. Oil, Radiator Fluid, Brake fluid, Windshield fluid, Transmission fluid, Power steering fluid, Air conditioning coolant. This will protect not only your car, but prevent you and others from getting into a wreck.
