Chris now: good
Chris back then: yawn!
Tire Alignment. Do it.
Or your tires will have ridiculously uneven wear as seen in this video.
Chris when I bought my 97 Civic. It had no owners manual. Luckily I learned the ins and outs of it thanks to a friend of mine and my dad who are really knowledgeable with 90s Hondas
Mistake #11 people not changing fuel filter when maintaining their car Mistake #12 people not checking the air filter if it's clogged or not
Giving 10-15 s in a newer engine will waste gas, even you rev up the dry engine, the oil pump spins and pushes a lot of pressure
Aussie fuel… premium fuel has less sulphur then regular. I’m told less sulphur in the air is good for human health.
I do it my dad turns on the car lets it stay for 1 minute
In Australia & New Zealand, the octane ratings for unleaded fuel are 91 (standard), 95 (intermediate) and 98 (premium).
I currently drive a Hyundai i30 and I usually fill up with U91 at the cheapest price wherever possible and when the tank is half-full to save money but U98 once a month.
By the way, I tried using fuel with ethanol and proved it would be more environmentally friendly but unbeknownst to myself, the revs fluctuated and the 'Check Engine' light blinked which is a sure sign that you must stop driving before it becomes a major problem.
Yet you push fuel additives money talks eh.
Another really important one is always using the emergency brake when parking on an incline or decline. No need to stress out the transmission and get that big "clunk" when you put it in drive. Put the car in neutral, pull e-brake, release regular brake so the car falls back on to it, THEN put it in park. I basically do it every time now regardless just out of habit.
Well, Chris, I switched from OEM recommended 87 fuel to 91 three years ago.
1. PERFORMANCE enhancement is incredible; way better than when new.
2. MPG went from almost 20 mpg to 23 mpg. Love your videos.
Chris great videos. I live in a low traffic development when I Star my vehicles up living on a 2 block dead end I let the car idle in the driveway for 30 seconds. I then put it in drive and god down the street without my foot on the gas. When I turn to the next road which is 3 blocks to the development exit if it’s traffic free again I go the next 3 blocks without stepping on the gas. By the time I get to the exit and main road the engine has warmed up nicely including the transmission. Then I’m ready to hit the regular traffic. Got a 2004 Jeep Wrangler LJ that I bought 5 years ago with 32,000 miles that now has 65,000 miles. Bought a 2001 Honda Accord 2 years ago with 82,000 miles that now has 89,000 miles. Keep up with the maintenance on bot and both purr like kittens. I believe that starting my trips in this fashion have lent to them staying trouble free. I’ll also add that I drive very conservatively. I’m 64 and even since I was in HS my friends chastised me for driving like a Nun but who cares all my rides have been good to me ever since!
Some of the biggest mistakes I see people make:
– they use the wrong type of oil
– they never check the radiator
– they falsely assume the fuel octanes are a reference to how fuel efficient it will make their car
– they overfill the fuel tank
