Breaking habits

Some drivers have breaking habits like me i drive closely to the tail then break at the same time as the car in front break, some drivers use the break easily and more relax, but some step on the break really hard, some driver use break release break method or pumping break method.

Well i notice in manual transmission that when slow driving condition we often use the clutch before break and at high speed we used break before clutch. Did you notice about it? Did it run in your mind why we do that?

Well i notice with a low idle engine the break was more soft and low and if it in high idle the break also get slightly hard and high.

When we drive fast and use clutch before break you will notice that the break slide and feel like not responding or working that's why we use break before clutch on high speed.

The idle or the rpm also a basis of breaking it contribute on stepping on the break.

Diesel oil used in gasoline cars

Some racer in the Philippines used diesel oil for some few reasons.

They said that comparing diesel oil and gasoline oil in heated situation diesel oil have much more purpose than gasoline oil due to its thickness and friction wise, gasoline oil when in heated situation become too thick that just slide in the piston in diesel oil when used in heated situation become not too thick which give more protection than gasoline oil that just slide in the piston, well i cant afford to try it but i have friend they used diesel oil on 1st start its rough but after heated up it smooth.
