Automatic Car Myths Stupid People Fall For (Don't Be Fooled!)
Think your automatic car can handle anything? Think again! Today, we’re sharing some things you should never do in an automatic car. Stick around to the end for a bonus tip that'll help keep your transmission fluid in top shape.
Running on low fuel might seem like no big deal, but it can actually cause some serious problems. The fuel pump relies on the fuel to stay cool, and when you're running low, that cooling effect disappears. Over time, this can overheat the pump, shortening its lifespan and leading to an expensive repair. Plus, when your tank is nearly empty, you stir up the dirt and gunk that settles at the bottom. This debris can clog the fuel filter and mess with your car's performance, or worse, damage other parts of the fuel system. So, it’s best to keep your tank above a quarter full to avoid all that hassle.
