The 10 Worst Things You Can Do to Your Car

Like the human body, ignoring even the smallest signs of trouble in your car's performance can lead to trouble down the road.

And some missed signals cost more than others.

A new report by CarMD.com Corporation  details exactly which maintenance mistakes can cause the most damage.

Here are the top 10: 

1.  Putting off recommended / scheduled maintenance
2. Ignoring the “check engine” light
3. Not changing the oil, or not having it changed on time
4. Not checking tire pressure
5. Neglecting coolant, brake, transmission and other fluid services
6. Continuing to drive when the vehicle is overheating
7. Not changing fuel and air filters
8. Having unqualified shops service your vehicle
9. Using generic aftermarket parts instead of original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-quality parts
10. Trying to service your own high-tech vehicle

The best example of the snowball effect of missed car repairs is the air filter. It costs about 20 bucks to replace, but if left alone, a dirty filter can bust oxygen (02) sensors in cars, which cost as much as $250 to replace. And when the sensor fails, you'll first see your gas mileage plunge, then possibly wind up with a $1,000 bill to replace your  catalytic converter.

No. 3 deserves special attention, as well. Technicians say ignoring oil changes is the "single most damaging  car maintenance item that their customers neglect that they wish they could change," according to CarMD.

The trouble with dirty oil is that it doesn't jive well with the high-tech engines in today's modern vehicles, according to  Art Jacobsen, CarMD vice president, and can lead to engine failure if left ignored for too long.

The old go-to rule for oil changes was to refresh every 3,000 miles. But most experts agree drivers should go by the schedule their car's manufacturer dictates instead.

"Frequent oil changes do not necessarily mean better performance or longer engine life," CalRecycle Director Caroll Mortensen told The Auto Channel.

Updated Nissan 370Z Nismo revealed, debuts in Europe


Nissan has introduced an updated version of the 370Z Nismo which is set to go on sale this summer.
Power comes from the same V6 3.7-liter engine but its output has been increased from 328 HP (241 kW) at 7,000 rpm to 344 hp (253 kW) at 7,400 rpm. The torque figure is also up from 267 lb-ft (362 Nm) to 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) reached at 5,200 rpm.

The throttle response has been improved so more of the power should be available from 2,000 rpm. Connected exclusively to a 6-speed manual gearbox, the coupe performs the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in 5.2 seconds (0.1s quicker than before).

The 370Z Nismo has also gained a new body kit which allows the coupe to generate as much downforce as the GT-R. Some of the aero changes include a bigger diffuser with integrated twin exhausts, wider side skirts, fixed rear wing and a revised front end featuring a splitter.

The car now comes with 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped around in wider 245/40 front and 285/35 rear bespoke Bridgestone Potenza tires. Compared to the standard model, the Nismo variant is 10mm lower and benefits from updated dampers, springs and brakes.

On the inside it features an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, bespoke Nismo sport seats and a new red & black trim.

Nissan looks to the future with Resonance





DETROIT -- Nissan pretty much threw every advanced technology it conjures up into its five-passenger crossover concept, Resonance.

It made its debut here Tuesday at the North American International Auto Show.

It has a hybrid powerplant, complete with a 2.5-liter gas engine. It's coupled to a continuously variable transmission, for which Nissan has become known, and a lithium-ion battery.

For looks, not necessary fuel economy, it has 22-inch wheels. It's meant to look futuristic, which means touches such as boomerang-shaped headlights and taillights, an aerodynamic exterior and huge glass roof. Like so many concept cars this year, it's painted a hot shade of orange.
