The lesson?
Not everything you've heard about cars is true.
And when it comes to your car, believing the wrong advice can mean wasted money, poor maintenance and avoidable problems.
MYTH 5: โFilling my tank early in the morning gives me more fuel.โ
TRUTH: This sounds logical because cooler fuel is denser. But fuel is stored underground, where temperatures are relatively stable.
So don't wake up at 5 a.m. just because someone told you your 20k will buy more
MYTH 4: โTurning off the AC saves me a lot of fuel.โ
TRUTH: Your AC does use extra energy, but switching it off doesn't magically transform your fuel consumption.
The difference can be relatively small, especially in modern vehicles.
MYTH 3: โI must warm-up my car for several minutes before driving.โ
TRUTH: That's largely an oldcar habit.
Modern vehicles generally don't need several minutes of idling before you drive. Start the car, give it a moment, then drive normally without unnecessary hard acceleration
MYTH 2: โPremium fuel (Petrol/Diesel) will make my car perform better.โ
TRUTH: Not necessarily.
Higher-octane fuel is useful for vehicles designed or recommended to use it. If your car doesn't require it, paying extra doesn't automatically mean better performance.
MYTH 1: โMy car was doing 80 km/h and another car doing 120 km/h still overtook me.โ
TRUTH: If both speedometers are accurate and both cars are travelling at those speeds, the 120 km/h car is moving faster.
Your car isn't โfasterโ simply because it overtook another car.
MYTH VS TRUTH ๐
5 car myths Nigerian drivers need to stop believing.
Some of the things we believe about cars were passed down to us. But just because we've heard it for years doesn't make it true.
Let's clear a few things up.
...professional help when you need it.
Because good car ownership isn't simply about fixing problems, it is about preventing them.
TheMekanic: Your Car. Fixed Right everytime.
What is one vehicle maintenance habit you think more car owners should take seriously?
...can help you identify potential issues before they become expensive repairs.
This is part we as The Mekanic comes in, we are not just a workshop, but a resource for car owners.
A place where you can learn about your vehicle, make informed maintenance decisions, and access...
The problem is that many car owners only think about maintenance when there is a visible problem.
But effective vehicle ownership is preventive, not reactive.
Understanding your vehicle, its service intervals, warning signs, fluid levels, tyre condition and unusual behaviour...
Most car problems donโt start when the car breaks down.
They usually start much earlier.
It starts with the warning light you ignored.
A tyre you stopped inspecting.
An unusual sound you assumed was โnormal.โ
An overdue oil change.
Cracked brake discs happen from hard braking, poor parts, or neglect. Brakes are not the place to cut corners. Inspect your discs and pads regularly. Always choose high-quality parts, incorporate a proper maintenance system and remember โ safety starts with the small things.
