2. Summer Car Care Tips
The high temperatures of summer can be tough on
your car. From the paint to the tyres, everything is
subjected to harsh conditions. Gone unchecked,
some issues could leave you stranded in the heat.
Here are a few tips to help make sure your vehicle is
protected against the hazards of summer.

3. Check Tyre Pressure
As the outside temperature soars, the
air in your car's tyres expand. This is
why you need to check the tyre
condition and pressure for a safer
ride and better fuel economy.
Tyres that are under-inflated or over-
inflated can either generate too much
heat or reduce the handling capacity
of the car. This can result in blow-outs
and punctures.
Keep a spare! Make sure the spare
tyre is properly inflated and in good
condition.

4. Change the Oil
• Dirty oil with carbon and
metal debris can have a
drastic impact on your car’s
engine operation. This is
why periodic maintenance,
including oil and filter
changes, is necessary.
• Inspection or replacement
of the air cleaner and fuel
filters should also be done
intermittently to improve
fuel economy.

5. Check Coolant and Radiator
• If an engine is allowed to get
too hot, it can cause a number
of internal problems. This is
because the moving metal parts
of your car can melt and fuse
together due to overheating.
• To prevent this, it is important to
change the coolant annually on
most cars. This will prevent
corrosion and keep the cooling
system clean inside.
• To clean the radiator and
remove the dirt and debris, use
a soft brush and a garden hose.

6. Maintain the Air Conditioner
• Before the summer is at its
peak, it is important to get the
air conditioning system
checked.
• Air conditioning malfunction can
be caused by low level of
refrigerant or the malfunctioning
of the compressor.
• If the air conditioning system
has an air filtration system, then
get it checked to prevent water
dripping from your car.
