A Fluid Change Will Help Correct Transmission Problems.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- Changing the fluid can often times amplify your problem or worse, create new ones. 

- Often times when you have very dirty fluid it is a sign of a part that is wearing excessively and emitting abnormal amounts of debris. 

- On rare occasions a fluid change will eliminate enough debris to eliminate valves sticking up due to foreign abrasive material ie. metal or clutch material.

Cheaper And More Profitable Comebacks On-The-Car Lathe.

                                                                                                                                                             

                         

New rotors prevent comebacks and are cheaper and more profitable than an on-the-car lathe.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- In some cases, a new rotor should be machined to match the vehicle with an on-the-car brake lathe.

- The main advantage of these lathes is that they are able to cut a rotor in its operating plane.

- This means that the rotor is machined to match the hub. 

Change The Oil On The Same Schedule

    

Should you change your oil on the same schedule wherever you drive?

THIS IS NOT TRUE! 

- Gasoline Composition Dictates Oil Changes.

- North American refiners produce gasoline that has a higher sulphur percentage than either Japanese or European gasoline.

- You will need to do more frequent oil changes when driving in the USA or Canad.

Should you warm up your engine for several minutes before driving?

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- That might have been good advice for yesteryear's cars but is less so today.

- Modern engines warm up more quickly when they're driven.

- The sooner they warm up, the sooner they reach maximum efficiency and deliver the best fuel economy and performance. But don't rev the engine high over the first few miles while it's warming up. 

Can A Spare Tire Be Use Driving Fast And A Logn Period

Is it true that you can drive as fast and as long on a temporary or compact spare tire as you can on a regular tire.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

- In general, all-season tires are the best tires for year-round usage.
- However, if you live in an area that receives little plowing or heavy snow, you should consider switching to a snow tire during the winter.
