So tell me, how often do you send your car for oil change? Every 5,000km or 10,000km? Would changing that oil regularly prolongs the life of your car?
How about pumping higher octane fuels, say, the RON97 or VPower? Do they REALLY make your car super faster?
Is Mikaela a mythical creature?
What about flushing the coolant off the radiator? Is it really that necessary to do it at every oil change?
Driving a brand new car at high speeds (at 100km/h) kills the engine faster?
Some say using dish washing liquid to wash your car cleans better than for-car liquids? I tried using dish washing liquid alot for my previous Nissan car but it was too short to tell as I sold my car months after got it painted… too short a time to judge the after effects of using dish washing liquid.
