That's what drivers believe in. But they shouldn't do that!

There is no shortage of myths in the driving community about repairs, maintenance, and other habits that should extend the life of a car, reduce costs, and make it perfect on any road. Which myths are the most common and cause headaches for mechanics? Check it out for yourself!
Warming up the engine before driving
Just a few decades ago, engines had to be warmed up before a car could start moving. Especially in severe frosts. This was due to the significantly lower viscosity of the oils, as well as insufficient fluidity for operation at low temperatures.The ventilation system also aggravated the situation, as it sometimes made it difficult to effectively remove steam and frost from the windshield, so it was safer to simply warm up the interior of the car and evaporate the moisture before driving.Currently, in cars manufactured after 2000, you will find an injection system, a catalytic converter or a particulate filter that do not like the engine to warm up while parked. It is better to wait a few seconds after starting, during which time the oil will be distributed throughout the system. It's literally about a few seconds that you need, for example, to fasten your seat belt, no more.In addition, modern ventilation and air conditioning systems are much better and faster at coping with the problem of fogging windows.Disc replacement depending on the season
Previously, drivers changed the alloy wheels on their cars — in winter to steel, in summer to aluminum. Does it still make sense? Probably not, aluminum discs don't wear out more in winter, although they are certainly more susceptible to damage than steel discs, which corrode faster.Moreover, according to mechanics, steel discs behave much worse in winter, when the snow does not freeze and sticks to the wheels, which stick to the inside. This can lead to snow remaining on the discs during the next wave of frosts, which will cause severe vibration while driving. And that's dangerous.Winter tires are installed only on the front axle.
Front-wheel drive cars are much more common than rear-wheel drive cars. Their owners most often decide to install winter tires only on the front axle, which provides obvious savings. This is not a good idea, if only because of security concerns and the risk of incurring much higher repair costs if the unexpected happens.Two winter tires are also a very bad idea, especially when the real winter begins — ice and snow, making the road slippery, will require much better traction from the tires. And it will only be on the front wheels.Remember that it is the rear part that keeps the car on the road, better tires should be placed on the rear axle of the car, and it is best not to look for apparent savings, but to put winter tires on the front and rear axles.
