Things U Should Never Do In An Automatic Car | Car Hacks

[@dreamphantltd]

number 5 is not accurate, if you are stuck in traffic for alot of minutes, it's better to put it in neutral, having it on Drive when not moving just heats up your transmission and actually strains it.

I thought it wasn't for "ole" cars 🤔

[@teenamarie1527]

Hmnn #5disagree

[@enockguto3677]

I agree with you 💯

[@chessnut2599]

Forgot to mention to keep sand out of the gearbox, and water out of the fuel tank... waste of time watching this

[@Joshtheweatherman]

Automatics aren’t simpler when they need repairs 😂

[@bobbyknight3589]

There a lot of moving parts in em for sure

[@bryllerazon234]

I don't think setting it to neutral in traffic light is bad for the transmission. setting it to Drive while your foot is on the brake is actually bad when you are in the traffic light with more than 60seconds time intervals. Because you are resisting the Drive mode a lot and putting much stress in transmission, why? when you set off your foot from the brake while in a Drive mode, your car starts to roll even without stepping on the throttle, that's how drive mode works and you are resisting it for a long period of time. so... if less than 60seconds, hitting brake while on the drive mode is fine but more than a minute is not actually good with your transmission. But the rest in this video is actually accurate.

5 and 2 are the ones that stuck out as kinda mis-leading, with 5 yes having the transmission in D at a stop light can help you make a move quickly but with older cars that have higher mileage putting the car in neutral does help with transmission life as that excess heat created from the Torque Converter in the transmission can put that heat into the fluid and wear it out over-time if you sit at long lights in the hot summer with the engine hot it will cook the trans fluid over-time, but if it's a short light and you do that at every light you can wear out the shifter linkage or stretch the cable yes, now with 5 and the fuel, the car will be able to maintain proper fuel pressure due to the PCM or ECM controlling the pump and keeping it running to regulate that pressure UNTIL it can't at which point the car would just stall out, but the biggest thing was you saying you can wear out components of the car by running fuel low is kinda correct wit the FUEL pump cause the gas lubricates and cools the pump so it can wear out or overheat but the engine is NOT lubricated in a gas car as it is a solvent, engine oil lubricates the engine not the fuel, that's why even 2 stroke engines require and oil premix/ oil injection to stay running because gas alone would actually strip all the oil off the components, it's why it can be used as a parts cleaner in a pinch due to it's ability to dissolve oil so well, just wanted to help clear that up

Use handbrake before shifting to Parking on a hill

[@user-sy5xh7gf2q]

So, now when should the neutral gear be used ???

[@Kevinklap460]

#3 but if it has a spacial transmision that cars like Ferrari or mclaren with a button for launching it doesn't matter because i5s made for launches

[@johnnymartinjohansen]

#1. No one, and I mean NO ONE, will EVER let water get into any systems on purpose. This is a riduculous video.

[@Michael-yi4mc]

I learned these tips in 1965.

[@christophersemenya9890]

Thanks 🙏👍 for the lesson

[@FastCarsReview]

My pleasure!

[@faym3187]

Banger🔥🔥🔥💯

[@Mission868]

Number 4. My car runs at 800rpm in neutral and 600 rpm in drive😶

[@infopointpk]

Not agreed with point 5.

[@mtcru]

putting in neutral during long stops saves your transmission from overheating.

[@Jagatrakhshkan350]

How water enters transmission? Ways to prevent it?

[@RaffySSia]

how about shifting from D to 4 or 3 or L while vehicle is moving?

[@Faiz-ui7lz]

Heads up for those who is watching this video is pretty useless and waste of time

[@richardnovak9910]

Learning nothing. Stupid advice.

[@dorobocop22]

In our country we have 30 minutes traffic jams 'so you said i will not shift to Neutral and step on Brakes that long ?

[@a68k_de]

hahaha, fairy tales from the past. Smart people have been driving EVs for a long time now in 2024. Your template compilation is probably about 20 years too late... how pathetic.

[@TheAmericanGovernmentReal]

u calling people that drive gas vehicle dumb?

[@a68k_de]

@@TheAmericanGovernmentReal where did i write this? but if you interpret this into my words ... there might be a answer to your comment...

[@TheAmericanGovernmentReal]

@@a68k_de i was guessing when you ment "smart people drive evs" you was saying the people driving gas powered vehicles is dumb

I think you are congratulating yourself a little too early. The lithium ion batteries are by no means an ideal energy source. They have a low energy density and if they happen to overheat this can lead to a fire that is extremely difficult to extinguish due to the fact that combustion process in lithium ion batteries produces more than enough oxygen to maintain itself. This is a major problem. As for your remark "how pathetic", my response is "there are none so blind as those who will not see".

I thought #5 only counts for newer 🚗🚘🚔🏎
