As the weather gets hotter and the temperature gets higher, summer car maintenance has become a common topic for everyone. How can you take good care of your car in summer? The following article will introduce the precautions for summer car maintenance.

Summer temperatures are generally high, so as a car enthusiast, do you know what maintenance knowledge cars have in summer? How to maintain a car in order to better protect its basic performance? Let‘s take a look at the precautions for summer car maintenance.

Oil water evaporation

Due to the generally high temperatures in summer, the evaporation of oil and water will increase. Therefore, we must pay attention to tightening the fuel tank cap and preventing oil leakage from the oil pipes; Regularly check the water level in the water tank, the oil level and height in the crankcase, the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder, and the electrolyte density and level in the battery. When non-compliance occurs, it should be added and adjusted in a timely manner.

Beware of tire blowouts

In summer, the road surface temperature is higher, and the usage environment of car tires is more harsh. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the inspection and maintenance of car tires, regularly check tire pressure, and prevent tire blowouts.

Engine maintenance

In summer, we should try to choose some oil with higher viscosity, as the viscosity of the oil will change with the increase of temperature. When the temperature is high, the viscosity of the engine oil will decrease, the oxidation resistance will deteriorate, and it is easy to deteriorate. The oil film formed inside the engine is thin and uneven, which can easily lead to faults. In addition, while ensuring sufficient lubrication, lubricating oil with corresponding viscosity should be selected based on the temperature range during use, engine temperature, and actual vehicle conditions.

High temperature anti vehicle self ignition

The hot and hot weather is also a high incidence period for car spontaneous combustion accidents. The spontaneous combustion of cars not only causes economic losses, but also may cause casualties, which requires more attention. There are various reasons for car spontaneous combustion, such as engine gasoline filter failure, circuit failure, and aging of power lines. The best way to prevent Z is to go to a professional repair shop for timely inspection and maintenance, which can basically prevent the occurrence of spontaneous combustion accidents.

Correct use of air conditioning

During high temperatures in summer, air conditioning becomes particularly important. We must use air conditioning correctly to avoid unnecessary losses. Before entering the carriage, we can first open the windows for ventilation and open the external circulation. After the hot air inside the car is discharged, we can turn on the air conditioning, which will result in faster and better cooling effects. When the vehicle speed is below about 25km/h, the air conditioning should be placed in a lower gear to prevent insufficient power generation and air conditioning.

Of course, there are still many maintenance precautions for cars in summer. We have only listed a few common precautions here, hoping that car owners can pay attention to these while driving, and ensuring driving safety is crucial.
