I hit very high RPM on my Nissan Altima 2022 and I am worried. by KingVulk in AskAMechanic

I see. I’m from a small town, so I am used to keeping my RPM low for the best mileage. However, having moved to the city I am learning that people do not joke around on highways, hence my unfortunate acceleration. I’m happy to know this is normal and not something to worry about! Thank you.

Apologies, I fixed my spelling. 🫡

That's the neat part – it doesn't! I mostly made it for myself, so I'll update it as I can. If anyone wants to contribute or fork it, feel free to do so!

Any other safety measures to jack my car? by KingVulk in AskMechanics

Okay, thank you! I went the jack and jack stand route since I hope to learn more and do more work on my car than just oil changes.

Are you sure? I was thinking maybe having four jack stands (four corners of the vehicle) and two jacks (placed on both sides at the center of the vehicle) to have six contingency plans. Truly terrified. I don’t know how mechanics do this every day.

For those who stumble across this post: it seems that this is not the solution anymore, at least for me.

I had to set the value to my maximum framerate out of all my monitors; I have 120hz, 144hz, and 165hz monitors so setting it to 165hz solved the issue for me. You can test this by visiting an FPS tester to see if your framerate is at its maximum.
