Lots of drivers use a drive thru car wash. Difficult to wait 30 minutes before entering the wash station. usually only have a few minutes wait.

[@AliMECH]

Yes, exactly

[@dekalogue]

great video

[@snhongo1]

Thanks for the brake disc tip

[@AliMECH]

No problem 👍

[@curveballintx]

You left out one important detail about shifting into park--right after applying the parking brake, you need to let the weight of the car rest on the parking brake and THEN shift into park.

[@AliMECH]

That's right, you are 💯% right, I remembered that after publishing the video lol

[@brianbeams8883]

It's true that's the reason why it's so hard to take it out of park on a hill but i drive stick shifts and dont have that problem

[@avl123]

True.... this is very important when stopped at inclined or declined planes... to use p brake first and then in park mode ...and vice versa using brake pedal....thanks👍👍

[@curveballintx]

One other very important thing you should never do is start the car and drive away immediately. You should always let your engine idle for at least 30 seconds so oil will get circulated between all the bearings and load bearing surfaces. This is how you reduce engine wear. Because if there is no oil between the bearings, engine wear occurs.

[@661gamer9]

I let my car warm up for 5 minutes to some times 8 minutes haha

[@jazpanoz4996]

2mins for a modern engine is good,always get wear from start ups as you cannot prime an engine with oil before starting:/

[@sunilayya8948]

Also must not floor the pedal until a few minutes after normal temperature is reached

[@difsid569]

oil get circulated everywhere in normal weather about 4-5 seconds . and takes longer in cold weather like under - 0°, depends on the engine oil quality you use

[@tjlee9901]

i usually idle for 30-60 seconds before going out of park . then i drive 25 mph until temp comes up .

[@manzoorzehri3966]

Yeh if a turbo is fitted the blades still rotate when pulled up

[@Giardintek]

I am always surprised why ppl just throw the shifter in P and never use the hand brake or parking brake when it's there for a reason.

[@tbas8741]

A car cannot slip out of park and the Park "pin" cant wear out its a pin that goes through the output shaft locking it. the only way to wear out or damage "park" is to put it in P while car is moving. Once its stopped regardless of the Hill you are on P will hold it + hand brake. If you have it on steep hill holding with handbrake then put it in park if handbrake cable snaps then sudden impact on park pin could shear it off or damage it. Its the same in a manual if facing forward down a hill, Put it in reverse release the clutch and brake till transmission loaded the apply handbrake. specially in front wheel drives so all 4 wheels are locked then.

[@tbas8741]

[@franceleeparis37]

The biggest mistake people make is taking their car to the garage... unknowingly to them, the garage will replace some of their original parts with fake or cheaper versions... and sell the real part on eBay or charge another motorist for it... you only find out months later when you cannot prove who did it.. best advice is to take pictures of the car inside, outside, and engine compartment in close up.. and check them again before you drive out of the garage...

[@AliMECH]

Agreed, good advice 🙏🏻

The brakes I'm not so sure about that one otherwise we would all have to park are cars up until the rain stop falling. And we get a lot of rain here in 🇬🇧

[@AliMECH]

Rain is different, when it starts raining, the weather temperatures gets lower and even when the water contacts with the rotors, there wont be a big temperature difference to make it fast cooling

Front wheel drive cars with an Auto parked on a Hill should Always put it in park first release foot off brake then apply handbrake. So all 4 wheels are now locked properly as the back is much lighter is has less holding power. If you are on a hill and release brake and back of car raises up you did it wrong. manual should be in gear first then parking brake, so cable is not holding full weight. !

[@AliMECH]

Cable should hold the weight, always No matter if its manual or automatic If the hill angle too much, sometimes it can turn the engine

[@tbas8741]

@@AliMECH Not in PARK. Park is a pin that goes right through the transmission output shaft it cannot roll or slip , no hill is that steep your wheels will start sliding (snow excluded) . it can only be sheared off like putting it in park while moving but then dont worry car wont move anyways as transmission will be jammed with broken parts.

@@AliMECH i'M NOT AGREE WITH YOU, BECOUSE WHEN YOU HAVE TO PARK AND CHANGE THE GEAR, YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE, AFTER YOU PUT THE GEARBOX IN P, AFTER PUT THE HAND BREAK, AFTER RELESE THE BREAK!

[@AliMECH]

That's 100 percent correct

[@YA-ee9zf]

Btw the fuel pump is made in a way that always sucks the fuel from the bottom of the tank. So you’re incorrect the thing that causes damage is running out off fuel and the pump sucking air.

[@AliMECH]

It's not about sucking air, when the fuel level is low, the fuel cooling the fuel pump is so much less, to keep the pump at low temperature

[@jazpanoz4996]

fuel pump pick up does not touch the bottom of the tank so it does not pick up sediment. also the fuel keeps the fuel pump running cooler,so you are incorrect:/

You can wash your car engine with water when engine is running. It's no problem since car can drive in rain.

[@AliMECH]

Driving in run is different than hiting all the wire harnesses with 130+bar directly, when the car is new still no problem, but for older car, the water easily gets in the connectors

[@jazpanoz4996]

pressure cleaner or hose with decent pressure gets into the wire harness plugs for sensors etc if the ecu is located in the engine bay even worse. Rain is not in concentrated & forced,so no comparison:/

@2:29 "Wait at least a half hour before washing car everytime." (To wash wheels and brake rotars) That's not possible, or practical, when taking it through an automated car wash like most people do. I've never had a problem, in my 43 years of driving, with a warped brake rotor by washing them while hot at the car wash. I've never heard of it happening to anyone else either in my entire lifetime. Don't buy such a cheap p.o.s. 💩 vehicle and you won't ever have to worry about that. 😂 🤣 😂 Are you going to tell me that the brake rotars are going to warp while driving in the rain, too? 😂 Come on!! 🙄 It doesn't and won't happen.

[@Mikemeshell63]

also dont drive when it rains right,most of his vid is good though.

[@AliMECH]

Dude I speak with experience, try to wash it after a street race 😅or after a road trip when the weather temperatures above 110f/45c, I had American and german cars and it happed, when it rains, it's a different story, the whole ambient temperature will be low and the temperature difference will be less, that's why it wont effect rotor in the rain
