1. Every 3,000 to 5,000 miles
   Every 10,000 miles
2. Every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
   That's not necessary with modern tires.

You want to swap the tires around so they wear evenly. That way you get more out of them.

1. 30 psi
   35 psi
2. 40 psi
   150 psi

35 pounds per square inch is a great pressure for tires. If it is much lower, you start to slide around on the road.

1. Truck
   SUV
2. Hybrid
   Electric

Electric cars have about 1% (not a typo) as many moving parts as other cars so they are much cheaper to maintain. Plus, no fuel costs.

1. 10,000
   5,000
2. 50,000
   100,000

Oil should be changed at 5,000 miles.

1. Every 40,000 miles
   Every 50,000 miles
2. Every 70,000 miles
   Every 100,000 miles

The serpentine belt is a kind of drive belt that transmits power to all your automotive bits and bobs like the AC. It is made of a polymer and will degrade eventually.

1. It's fuel, duh.
   Keeping it cool
2. Keeping it warm
   Keeping it lubricated

Fuel and oil are not the same thing. Oil keeps things nice and lubricated so they don't crunch and stick.

1. Park pointing uphill.
   Park on level ground.
2. Park pointing downhill.
   Curb your wheels.

Parking on level ground helps stop the oil and other parts stay level.

1. Amber
   Black
2. Green
   Red

Amber is the right color. If it is black, see your mechanic.

1. Cooling, duh
   Warming
2. Lubrication
   De-icing

It's called coolant for a reason! It takes the excess heat from the engine out of the engine so it doesn't overheat and pack up on you.

1. A bad intersection
   A thing you should have in your car to warn traffic
2. A thing you should put on your car at night
   A light that warns other drivers

A hazard triangle goes on the ground to warn cars not to run into your car if it breaks down.

1. Jack knife
   Jack point
2. Jack up
   Jack set

A jack point is a little flat reinforced area that is designed to not crack when you put the whole weight of that corner of your car on it.

1. Just burned fish. Nothing else smells like burned fish.
   Singed brake pads or clutch
2. Engine failure
   Singed tires

If it is inside the car then it probably came from the engine or something else internal. Check clutch and brake pads.

1. It goes up.
   It goes down.
2. It doesn't change.
   It depends.

If the car is heavier but otherwise the same, it generally has worse fuel economy.

1. Every 10,000 miles
   Every 100,000 miles
2. Every 30,000 miles
   Every 50,000 miles

Iridium ones are better and can go more than three times as long before they need changing.

1. It doesn't need that any more.
   10,000 miles
2. 100,000 miles
   500 miles

Running in an engine used to be done by the owner but now it is done by the manufacturer running the engine. The purpose of running in a new engine is to get it going by rubbing off abrasive edges on the piston rings. Using a car lightly for 500 miles is still wise, though.

1. Explosions
   Engine knocking
2. Leaks
   Overheating

Knocking is when the fuel doesn't all ignite so it starts making funny sounds. Those are actually tiny explosions. Don't worry about them unless you hear a lot of them.

1. Yes
   No
2. No as long as it is shiny
   No as long as you wax

Detailing and bodywork prevent rust and other damage. They're not just about vanity.

1. Ignition
   Jump starting
2. Clicking
   Connecting

Jump-starting a car works because the car doesn't run off the little battery - it just needs it to create the spark for ignition. It actually charges the battery while it's running. Leaving your lights on can run down your battery.

1. "Should've bought a gas car"-itis.
   Range anxiety
2. Battery bothering
   Fuel fussing

It's harder to carry more batteries than it is to carry more fuel. Still, modern electric cars are so much better than gas ones that they can go a long way on a single charge and recharge in under 10 minutes.

1. Turn it off
   Unplug the battery
2. Cool it down
   Take it to a mechanic - gotta protect that warranty!

Always disconnect the negative terminal first!

1. Clean the contacts.
   Turn it upside down.
2. Charge it from another car, just in case.
   Get another one.

If there is dirt in the battery's contacts, they might not connect properly and then power cannot flow. Check the contacts and clean them if necessary.

1. The glass of the bulb
   The base of the bulb
2. The contacts
   You can touch whatever you like.

There is a special coating on the glass and your grubby mitts will put oil and grime on it that will ruin it!

1. Ignore it.
   Replace them.
2. Clean them.
   Feel them.

If cleaning doesn't work, check the rubbery underside of the wiper. If it's corroded, just replace them. Visibility matters.

1. 12,000 miles
   50,000 mile
2. 100,000 miles
   200,000 miles

The air in the car will depend on what's outside the car, but generally the filter matters!

1. aCar
   AutoCare
2. Car Minder Plus
   CarTASTIC

CarTASTIC is clearly a better name than any of these other ones, but sadly it's not a thing that exists.

1. Drive slowly.
   Check if you did a good job.
2. Take it to the garage to get it tightened up.
   Nothing, I already fixed it.

Unless you had a machine on you to tighten up the nuts, you probably didn't get it as tight as is ideal. Go to the garage and ask them to quickly tighten them up.

1. Decoration
   Fun
2. To stop small animals nesting in the wheel (seriously)
   To stop dirt getting in

Hubcaps help to stop dirt and moisture collecting in the wheel and corroding it.

1. Allen key
   Philips head screwdriver
2. Ratchet or socket wrench
   Wallet, to pay someone to do it

Don't do this with the wrong tool. You will strip the spark plug and then getting it out is a nightmare.

1. The part of the brake that grips
   The part of the brake that connects to the wheel
2. Another name for the pedal
   The part of the tire in contact with the road

The pads clamp onto the wheel and slow it down.

1. Saltwater
   Freshwater
2. Purified water
   Any water

Your car wants water, but don't put salt in there. Otherwise, anything goes.

1. Around the lights
   Fender
2. Dashboard
   Trunk

Rust creeps in at the edges. Try feeling the wheel well.

1. Bad wire
   Blown fuse
2. Dead battery
   Low fuel

The fuse in a car is not a breaker, so if it blows you have to replace, not reset.

1. Blown tire
   I am just really right-handed.
2. Mis-aligned tires
   Broken axle

Your car's tires should be level when the car is level. If they're not, it'll wander off.

1. The car can turn into a fireball.
   The car can fail to turn on.
2. The car can roll over.
   The car can accelerate so fast that it crashes.

If fuel leaks, it might hit a spark and then turn into fire. A lot of fire.

1. Rudder belt
   Timing belt
2. Timing valve
   Riding valve

It makes sure the values open in synchrony with the cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes.
