Summer Driving
Many people think that once spring and summer arrives they no longer have to worry so much about their cars. They believe that the hardest time on a vehicle is the winter time. They will make certain that their antifreeze replaced to keep their engines from freezing. They just do not realize that the summer heat is very hard on an automobile. In the summer time you should have your oil changed, and you should change the weights of oil you use. If you normally run a 10w30, increase your weight to a 10w40. The summer temperatures thins your oil down, you want to make certain and maintain maximum lubrication, so increase the weight of the oil you buy, to make up for the heat.
Keep the tire pressure at recommended levels. Every month your tires lose about a pound of pressure, so you should keep a check to be sure you are driving on properly inflated tires. The asphalt becomes hot in the summer time, if your tire is showing even a slight amount of wear, the hotter asphalt will cause the tire to blow quicker. This is especially true on long trips. So pay close attention to your tires.
Keep a closer check on the fluid levels in your car. Since the heat thins down oil, it makes sense that the warmer temperatures thins down power steering fluid, brake fluid, and all other fluids. If there is a potential for a leak, like a clamp that is working loose, the leak will more likely occur when the fluids are thinner. Make certain the radiator has the correct amount of fluid, and do not forget to check the antifreeze. Summer heat is brutal on an engine, not to mention we let the air conditioners run almost constantly, you need to keep that radiator full.
All belts and hoses need to be inspected, and changed at the first sign of wear. Belts and hoses tend to get brittle in the winter months, the summer months cause them to warm up and become slack. You are more likely to break a belt, or develop a leak from a hose in the summer. You want to make sure that you do not sit in your car with the air running and let the car idle while you are waiting for fast food and things like that. A car can quickly overheat, causing problems that may not be repairable.
Parking in shaded areas whenever possible will not only help to keep the interior of the vehicle cooler, but it will help to protect the vinyl dashes and seats. If your vehicle has to set for an extended period of time you should leave a window slightly cracked to equalize the pressure that will build up inside the car. The heat of a car that is sitting closed up tightly can cause the glass in the windows, or the windshield to crack. As a precaution leave a tiny crack in a window of cars that are seldom driven.
