MOTORISTS are falling for five car maintenance myths that could cost them money, experts have said.
Brits often think these five misconceptions are the right way to run your motor – but in reality they could damage your car.
Stick to the facts and not myths to keep your car going, say experts[/caption]
According to expert Johnny Pretorius the amount of conflicting advice means it’s hard to know what’s best for your car.
“Keeping your car in good working order throughout its lifetime depends on good car maintenance.
“However, there are lots of car maintenance tips that might have made sense years ago, but new advancements in automotive technology have made these tips irrelevant.”
Here’s the five myths as compiled by car experts Motor Happy.
Oil changes at the 3,000 mile point is not a hard and fast rule and it’s better to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
So it’s always advisable to check the owner’s manual rather than listening to outdated myths.
Many motorists think that the number on the tyre’s sidewall is the recommended air pressure, says Motor Happy pros.
But in reality, that’s the pressure the tyre will be able to hold safely.
So it’s best to make sure to check the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle.
That can usually be found a sticker on the driver-side door, in the glove box, or on the fuel-filler door.
A wrongly inflated tyre can significantly affect the handling, braking, and overall wear.
Everyone thinks that running the engine for a few minutes is the best way to start up your car.
While that might have been true for most vehicles built before 1995, modern engines now warm up and cool down a lot quicker.
Nowadays the best way to warm up your car is to start driving gently.
Unfortunately dishwashing or laundry detergent are designed to flush grease off which means they can also strip the car’s paint.
If you use them on your car, you might remove the protective wax on the vehicle.
So you’re advised to stick with car washing liquids even if it means paying a little bit extra.
If your car doesn’t require premium petrol then you can just fill it up with regular fuel.
In fact, the US Federal Trade Commission said in most cases, using a higher-octane gasoline than your owner’s manual recommends offers absolutely no benefit.
When it comes to driving, others have pointed to five basic mistakes that could be damaging our car.
How you drive over speed bumps, what gear you use in town and even where you rest your hand could all help keep your car going

FIVE energy saving tips that help to cut the cost of bills have been revealed.
With Brits battling the first blast of freezing conditions, heating bills are no doubt rising across the nation.
The five ways you can try and save money this winter have been revealed[/caption]
But as temperatures plummet to -15C in some parts, the cost of living has meant households are layering up instead of turning on the radiators.
According to a survey by YouGov last week, 15 per cent of people cannot afford to heat their properties.
The best ways to save money while keeping the warmth inside your home have since been shared.
Boilers have a flow temperature – which if you tweak could save up to £100.
According to This is Money, lowering the rate from 80C to 60C saves nine per cent of total gas use.
Or £112 for the average home.
You can draught-proof your home and save money on heating.
Sealing up any gaps in your property will prevent heat from escaping.
Foam strips are easily fitted to windows, doors and floorboards.
The small change could save you £30 a year on your energy bills.
The dials on the side of your radiator determine the amount of heat let out.
Making sure they’re set to only a level you need them at to heat the room could save money.
Some energy firms suggest using the dials could cut energy use by up to 40 per cent.
You should only use household appliances when they’re full.
Washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers consume most of the energy in the home.
To make sure you’re using them as efficiently as possible, you should only use them once they are filled.
It’s also recommended to wash your clothes on 30C heat only.
What might be more of a higher cost to begin with could massively benefit you in the long run.
Installing insulation can really help save money as the harsh weather sets in.
However it’s worth checking with an expert first how much you would save before forking out.
There are a number of heat-saving myths that Brits are being warned to avoid when trying to save.
One is putting foil behind radiators to save energy – which should be avoided because it oxidises over time, making it almost useless at saving heat.
This technique should only be done if professional radiator reflective foil is used, which costs around £8 for a four-metre roll at hardware stores such as B&Q.
Another myth is painting radiators black to help save money. It makes the appliances about one per cent more effective than a white one.
It comes after a home interior expert shared top tips on how to keep warm in bed on chilly nights without having to put the heating on.
A few weeks ago, I got the chance to visit Supermassive HQ for a hands-on with The Devil In Me, the fourth game in — and season one finale of — The Dark Pictures Anthology. While I was there, I also had the chance to interview three of the series leads: Tom Heaton, creative director on both The Devil In Me and Man Of Medan; Will Doyle, creative director across the whole Dark Pictures Anthology and director of last year’s entry House Of Ashes; and Dan McDonald, the studio director for the anthology.
Some new and potent myths about digital nomads have emerged in the past few weeks. I come to bury these myths, not to praise them.
Myth 1: Digital nomads price locals out of their communities
The most significant new complaint about digital nomads is that, as a group, they’re pricing locals out of their communities.
The example location is usually Mexico City. Mexicans are “fed up” with digital nomads, we’re told.
Take a closer look. Whenever numbers are trotted out as evidence — people, prices, etc. — they always lump digital nomads together with tourists to make their case against digital nomads, specifically.
