6 Ways You're Ravaging Your Car Without Realizing It by Godspower35(m): 10:39pm On Aug 25, 2019
There are some things that you absolutely know will ruin your car; excessive smoking, major damage etc. Then there are the other smaller things that you probably will not even think about. If you want to get the best out of your car, read this handy list carefully.

1.
You only fill your cooler with water


When driving hard or stuck in the heat of summer, untreated water can reach its boiling point under pressure from most
cooling systems. If the water then freezes in the cold, it can lead to serious devastation when expanding,for instance cracking the engine block. Use a 50/50 mixture of water and coolant in order to get adequate result.


2.
You use the wrong oil


The thickness or viscosity of an oil is of enormous importance for the efficiency of its work. Your engine was designed for a specific viscosity. With very few exceptions, you will not see any benefit from changing your viscosity. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendation, which you will find conveniently in your operating instructions.


3.
You do not give your car enough time to warm up


Your oil does not lubricate nearly as well in cold weather and all parts of your engine are designed to operate within a certain temperature range. What happens when you start your car and leave? You insist on everything hidden under the hood at the most vulnerable moments.
New cars are heating up much faster, but you still have to wait at least a minute before starting and driving.


4.
You do not slow down for speed bumps or potholes


This will absolutely destroy the life of your shock absorbers and could damage the chassis of the car.


5.
You do not fix the little things


A small mechanical problem can inevitably lead to a much larger problem. When the suspension pads come off, you observe excessive movement in the tyres, which increases wear and decreases stability. When the engine and transmission bearings come off, your transmission has more movement. This effect will cause serious damage to your car.


6.
You ignore the Check Engine light


One of the most common misconceptions about cars is that a Check Engine light is not severe and can therefore be ignored. Sure, it does not always signal fate right away, but it means something's wrong with your engine. It could be a bit minor, but if left untreated, it could become something very expensive.


POINTS TO NOTE:

If your vehicle is going to function well at the long run is a function of the attention given to minor and major signals, automobiles experts has made it very easy for us to notice any unusual habit as regards our cars,recent cars now make it easier. It's now our responsibility to give it a quick check and solve the problem ASAP.

You ignore the Check Engine light

92.174815% of Nigerians are in this set.

You do not fix the little things

97.34% of Nigerians makeup this one. 15.19% are Nairalanders, with 0.0031% being from Romance section.

You do not give your car enough time to warm up

Hmmmm. I can't remember the last time I saw people warm cars. Especially young people with young cars. I like to think this set comprises mainly of Nigerians above 45yrs. Most Lagosians are not included, always rushing to cross 3MB before 6am.

Maybe all these kazeemized cars wey dem done commot thermostat, with fan running directly... na them need am pass.

You do not slow down for speed bumps or potholes

Any man that doesn't slow down for speed bumps will definitely not slow down if you tell him he is hitting your womb. Ibuprofen is cheaper than suspension parts.

-You only fill your cooler with water.
-You use the wrong oil

My team and I are still conducting the research for this. However, we know majority of Nigerians do not know their recommended motor oil, with women taking not less than 65%.


Have a lovely week and thanks OP kiss
