Summer car maintenance precautions.

Precautions for car maintenance in summer

Summer is coming, and as the weather is getting hotter and hotter, we should take good care of our cars. Let’s take a look at it next. The high temperature in summer not only slows down the heat dissipation of the car during operation, but also brings more challenges to the work of car tires due to the dual influence of the external environment. Tire blowouts also occur from time to time. Therefore, when operating under high temperature conditions, pay attention to the tire temperature and air pressure, and check frequently to ensure the specified air pressure standards. If you find that you are short of air, you should make up for it in time and do not drive casually. If the temperature of the car tire is too high, do not pour cold water on it to lower the tire temperature. This will cause cracks due to uneven shrinkage of various parts of the tread and sidewall rubber layer.

Check the brake system

Summer is hot and rainy. First of all, it is rainy weather. When the road is wet, the friction coefficient between the tires and the road is reduced. Secondly, wet weather also has a considerable impact on brake fluid, and a sensitive braking system is particularly important. Therefore, before summer comes, check your braking system and try to be prepared. You should also do a good job in checking the car, focusing on checking the car's fuel and electricity lines to prevent spontaneous combustion.

Regular replacement of lubricating oil

Selecting the right lubricating oil is an important aspect of car maintenance in summer. In summer, when the temperature is high, the car lubricating oil is easily heated and thinned, causing its oxidation resistance to change. Poor, easy to deteriorate, and even cause problems such as burning tiles and holding the shaft. Therefore, the quantity and quality of lubricating oil should be checked frequently and replaced in time. At the same time, it is best not to mix lubricating oils of different brands.

The air conditioning temperature is moderate

First of all, do not adjust the temperature too low, as this will affect your health and increase the pressure on the engine. Generally, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabin is within 10 degrees Celsius. Secondly, when the temperature inside the car is very high, do not use the air conditioner immediately. Generally, you should open all the windows first to let the hot air escape, and then close the windows and turn on the air conditioner after the temperature inside the car drops. In addition, when the air conditioner does not cool or has poor cooling effect, it should be repaired as soon as possible. The temperature rises in summer and the sun is often exposed. For car owners who care about the appearance of their cars, they must pay attention to protecting the paint surface of their cars and wash and wax their cars frequently. If you want to achieve more thorough protection for your car's paint, it is recommended to carry out a glaze sealing project for your car.
