2. Myths About Your Car's Engine Oil Busted!

   No one can deny the importance of engine oil in the automotive industry. However, every important thing attracts a lot of myths. The engine oil is not an exception. However, engine oil needs to be intact if you wish to run your vehicle for a longer time with optimum performance. However, there are numerous myths surrounding the use of engine oil.

   Let’s get through some common misconceptions and find the truth.

   Myth busted: Your car's engine oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometres.

   Though oil change is a requirement, there is no set limit, such as replacing engine oil every 5,000 kilometres. It's possible when some older models lubricate worn components under the hood. Sometimes, a vehicle might need an early call for engine oil due to scarcity, especially when fluid goes unused due to a leak.

   Besides, modern cars come with durable engine oil that can last up to 20,000 kilometres. Today, engine oil has improved a lot in terms of viscosity and quality. However, you can refer to your car’s manual for an exact time or just avail of Service My Car’s professional advice.

   Myth busted: Thicker oil is better for engine life and performance.

   In the case of lubrication, it seems that thicker oil is a better option. However, thinner oil always works better. They provide optimal lubrication while serving as an eliminator of any kind of contamination.

   Apart from that, it is easier to pump thinner oil to reach each and every nook and corner as compared to thicker oil. However, the engine oil viscosity is more relative to the weather, as thicker oil is more suitable in the summer. Car owners who live in areas that sustain higher temperatures for most of the months of the year should use thicker engine oil.

   Myth Busted: There is no need to replace the engine oil filter every time you change the oil in your car.

   Engine oil and the filter work in tandem to keep the engine lubricating. While there could be constant contamination in terms of dirt and debris, the oil filter does the work of removing any harmful external agents.

   Due to excess utilisation, the oil filters might get clogged, which definitely hampers the performance of a vehicle. As a result, engine oil filter replacement should always be required during car engine oil.

   Myth busted: If engine oil has turned black, it should not be used.

   In most cases, the basis of an engine oil change is the distance covered, not the colour. Engine oil might turn black due to the heat of the engine. Besides, some additives also work to remove contaminants, but they can turn engine oil black.

   Therefore, black engine oil hints at the proper working of additives. So it is necessary to follow standards as per the car manual to opt for an engine oil replacement. On the other hand, you should seek professional advice from Service My Car.

   Myth Busted: The "W" on engine oil packs is about weight.

   Engine oil packs contain a combination of numbers and letters, where "W" stands for winter. The numbers, before and after the "W", indicate the viscosity of oil in heated conditions.

   Myth Busted: Synthetic engine oil can corrode seals.

   In the 1970s, this was true due to the fact that synthetic oils were not as good as they are in the current situation. However, technology has advanced over the years, and they are no longer as harmful to seals.

   Besides, synthetic engine oil is a better alternative for lubrication in current times. They offer better protection for engine components and are durable even in extreme conditions. Therefore, you can use synthetic engine oil nowadays without worrying about damage to the seals and, of course, unnecessary leaks.

   Myth Busted: Using different brands of engine oil causes engine damage.

   This is utterly a myth, as engine oil needs to be as per specification, while many brands can provide engine oil with similar specifications. Therefore, there is no reason to be afraid of using different brands of engine oil.

   However, you should be cautious about the quality of engine oil because there might be a difference in quality even if they have the same specification. For trusted services, you should come to Service My Car.

   Myth Busted: A well-maintained vehicle may use low-quality engine oil.

   However, human nature prompts us to save some bucks when there is not a serious requirement. When you choose low-quality engine oil, however, such a decision always has negative consequences and damages the engine. Low-quality engine oil is unable to withstand extreme temperatures and is always contaminated in some way.

   So you cannot expect the same level of lubrication that good quality engine oil can provide. Therefore, think twice before opting for low quality engine oil because it will definitely damage an engine over time. And, consequently, you end up paying more for car engine repair.

   What should you do while there is a need for engine oil replacement?

   In case of any need, you should come to Service My Car for quality car maintenance. You can approach us by booking a car service or ordering a car repair quote on our website or app.

3. It would be necessary to be able to adjust the importance given to the factor "journey time" of one side and the factor "travel time"

   It would be necessary to be able to adjust the importance given to the factor "journey time" of one side and the factor "travel time" of the other. Indeed, I happen to choose a short route in distance that will force the passage through smaller routes more interesting when not in a hurry, for example on vacation.

6. Great improvements since I last tried it! But....have a request

   Just installed Maps Pro on a Windows 10 tablet with LTE and GPS. When using this app with windows location services, it is hard to tell when a GPS lock has been obtained or just an approximation of location from a cell or wifi connection It would be great if the number satellites linked and their strengths could be shown. Or at least when a “real” GPS fix is obtained, or more importantly, when the "real" GPS fix is lost. Keep up the great work.

9. would be good to have the facility to have user-selectable colour for markers for overlays added via personal GPX files

   I add third party POI via the overlay GPX facility - which is good to have.

   However all the markers are the same colour so it would be good to be able to change the colour of the marker associated with a particular POI file, or group of POIs to make it easier to distinguish between them. Some POI are more important/reliable/out-of-date than others so this would save having to keep changing which files are shown.

11. Add a right-click box to zooom

    Like Streets and Trips, right click and drag a box. Click in the box and automatically zoom to the contents of the box. This is the MOST missed feature (for me) from S & T. It saves multiple clicks or scrolls an automatically centers the zoom!

    Hello,
    If you have a keyboard, you can hold shift and drag to draw the box. The right-click is “reserved” on Windows 8 to open the menu

15. Direct Routing, grid mora, meridians and parallels

    Hi,

    Maps Pro is awesome. I am replacing my aviation en route VFR paper charts by it. It is that flexible. I do have a few ideas that would transform it from a great alternative to VFR paper charts to the perfect alternative. I will suggest them beginning with the ones I believe more important:

    • Direct routing. Rather than fastest or shortest route, the route from A to B would be simply a straight line. Very, very simple. If you'd include some extra information like distance in nautical miles, and direction in true and magnetic north it would be perfect.

    • Grid MORA. VFR charts are divided into rectangles each containing a big number. That number is the altitude at which it is safe to fly clear of obstacles in that rectangle.

    • Meridians and parallels. This should be the easiest one. Simply draw parallels and meridians overlaid on the chart.

    Once again, as it is, the current features are already good enough for me to ditch my paper charts, but these would make your App very appealing to the aviation community.

    Thanks!

    Best Regards,

    Rui Craveiro

19. Bugs/Suggestions for an ergonomic application

    I have just installed the application and I have detected some bugs/lack of functions:

    1. when I resize the map while the navigation is started, the navigation mode stops automatically; I want to be able to hear the driving instructions while browsing the map.
    2. after I resize and move the map, having a destination set and road map menu on the left open, that menu keeps refreshing over and over again at the interval of 1 second. It's a little bit annoying.
    3. I want to be able to view the map in 3D or at least the map to be resized automatically to the optimal size for driving (and automatically center to my location) when I begin the navigation or tap "continue navigation". And also it would be great to permanently have a button on the screen to center to my location and resize at the same time.

    The Google Maps application for Android is a good example of ergonomy, I think that you can inspire and take the good parts of it (and of other good GPSes like Garmin) and apply them to Maps Pro. This navigation application does really have potential, being the single one for tablets with windows 8 that really works.
    But for now I think that the price for Maps Pro is a little bit too high for what it offers. I don't know yet if i'll buy it or... I better wait to see an upgraded, stable and ergonomic version. Anyway, good luck and keep up the good work! :)

20. Simple geofencing to trigger voice alerts or activate SMS

    As I drive to fetch my son, and am reaching the corner of Street X, I want the Maps Pro to alert me to SMS my son that I am already at that corner and to get ready for pickup in 3 mins. It can also be used to remind me to drop by somewhere or do a short detour when I reach a certain part of my journey etc.
