slide 1: Top 5 Maintenance Myths That are Actually False of Car
Change your oil every 3000 miles:
Once upon a time this was the case and many oil companies and lube shops still push this idea. Now
most cars made within the last decade or so require oil changes every 5000 to 7500 miles depending
on the manufacturer. The better chemical composition and extensive use of synthetic oils as well as
superior engine design have improved enough to allow for longer intervals between oil changes.
Air Conditioning Harms Your Car’s Fuel Economy:
While it’s been assumed that running the air conditioner uses up more fuel than rolling down the
windows that’s actually not the case. In recent tests studies have found just a slight decrease in fuel
economy and almost no difference when driving with the windows open.
Premium Gas Is the Best
Busted: If your car doesn’t require premium gas then don’t bother filling it up with premium. While it
won’t hurt your car it will definitely cost a pretty penny. Most cars actually use regular grade and run
just fine. Premium gas has a higher octane level which means it’s less likely to create pre-ignition
problems.
Vehicle servicing at independent repair shops will void your warranty:
Your warranty is valid until the expiration date regardless of where you service your car. Dealerships
will imply that you can only go to them but actually requiring you to do so is illegal. Any maintenance
slide 2: covered under your warranty can be performed by any auto repair shop just save your receipts to prove
what was done and how much it cost.

change to maximize their life.
