Car fluid service is essential for keeping your vehicle safe and cool in the hot summer months. Hall | MileOne Autogroup can provide fluid service and other services to protect your vehicle throughout the season. With support from our expert team, you can learn how to keep your car from overheating when the temperatures rise.
Maintain the Coolant Levels
Internal combustion already makes your engine hot. When the temperature outside of your vehicle is high, it takes longer for the engine to cool down, and you run the risk of overheating. Proper coolant levels can help. Coolant is the fluid that keeps your engine from overheating, and you want to make sure there’s plenty in your vehicle before the hot weather hits.
Turn Off the A/C
It might seem counterintuitive, but turning off your air conditioning is one of the fastest ways to cool your engine. That’s because the a/c puts excess strain on the engine, making it hotter, even as it cools the cabin. By turning off your air conditioning system, you remove some of the pressure on the powertrain system that can contribute to overheating.
Get an Oil Change
The oil in your vehicle plays many essential roles, including cooling and lubricating the engine. When the oil gets old or saturated with dirt and debris, it can no longer keep parts cool, increasing the risk of overheating. Regular oil changes, especially during summer, can help protect your engine from overheating.
