It is a bitter fact that summer gets hotter every year. And hot weather affects our cars as well as us.
Although modern vehicles are designed to run smoothly under extreme weather conditions, hot and dry weather affects our vehicles' performance and safety. Let's take a closer look at these effects and what we can do against their consequences.
For most drivers, the most critical season for vehicle maintenance is winter. However, you need to pay particular attention to your vehicle on extremely hot summer days.
As known by most of us, batteries do not like cold weather. But it is also true that they are not fond of hot weather either. The chemical within the battery is affected by extremely high temperatures, maybe leading to a problematic charging process. To prevent any problem with your battery in summer, you had better pay a visit to a car service shop and get the required measurements made.
It is only in summer when we remember the existence of the cooling system in our car. That is why it does not occur to us to take measures before it is too late. Making our journeys easier in summer, cooling systems run extra hard on boiling hot days. In cooling systems that remained neglected on cold winter days, problems may be observed in summer when working hard. To prevent these problems, you had better not leave your cooling system maintenance to the very last minute. Adopt the habit of getting your cooling system serviced as soon as winter is over.
Summer is a challenging season for your tires. It is not easy at all to move on asphalt ground reaching 50-60 degrees C. That is why most tire problems are experienced in summer.
To avoid having such problems in summer, the first thing to do is using tires suitable for the season. The structure of tires designed for winter is not suitable to be used in high temperatures. Also, adopt the habit of getting your tire pressures checked regularly. Keep in mind that the pressure inside your tires will slightly increase in hot weather due to expansion. Therefore, when inflating your tires, you should not go beyond the pressure values specified by your car manufacturer.
Modern motor oils are designed to maintain their chemical structure under extreme temperatures. However, for truly trusting your motor oil, you need to choose the right one. Make sure that you use a motor oil at the standards specified by your car manufacturer. If you live in an area with extreme summer conditions, you can consult your car service shop to find the proper oil viscosity.
Undoubtedly, it is the body shell that is affected the most by sun rays. Especially such vehicles that are used in humid seaside areas get more of the summer's wearing effect. To maintain your car's first-day look, you can apply solutions against color fading and corrosion.
