In
India,
the
Summer
seems
to
be
hitting
a
little
earlier
than
usual.
We’re
already
in
the
month
of
March
and
we’re
facing
temperatures
of
over
30
degrees
Celsius.
Not
only
us,
but
our
vehicles
also
need
to
be
given
extra
care
and
maintenance.
Here,
we
will
be
discussing
summer
car
care
tips
for
your
vehicle.

Engine
Oil

The
first
thing
to
look
at
is
the
car’s
engine
oil.
Make
sure
the
oil
is
topped
up
and
is
clean,
without
any
harmful
bits
present
in
it.
Running
old
oil
in
hot
temperatures
will
most
likely
cause
problems
to
your
engine,
such
as
overheating
or
even
in
serious
cases,
an
engine
seize.

Along
with
the
engine
oil,
the
oil
filter
needs
to
be
checked.
A
faulty
oil
filter
will
not
segregate
the
unwanted
material
effectively
and
cause
the
driver
to
run
the
car
with
improper
and
polluted
engine
oil.

Coolant

Running
sufficient
engine
coolant
is
as
important
as
staying
hydrated
in
the
summers.
The
coolant
acts
as
the
main
catalyst
that
cools
the
engine
and
keeps
it
running
at
an
optimal
temperature.
Without
enough
coolant
or
a
good
quality
coolant,
the
engine
will
start
to
overheat
which
may
lead
to
further
complications
down
the
road.

Radiator
and
Fan

Supporting
the
coolant
to
keep
the
engine
at
the
optimum
temperature
is
the
radiator
and
fan.
When
the
engine
crosses
a
certain
temperature,
a
signal
is
sent
from
the
ECU
to
the
fan
for
it
to
turn
on.
Once
it
turns
on,
the
fan
will
continue
running
until
the
coolant
temperature
drops.

Air
Filter

The
air
filter
is
what
allows
air
to
enter
the
engine.
Ensuring
a
clean
and
well-maintained
air
filter
is
key
as
this
is
what
makes
the
engine
run
without
much
strain
and
lets
the
required
amount
of
air
reach
the
engine.

DriveSpark
Thinks

It
is
crucial
for
car
owners
to
maintain
their
engines
especially
when
temperatures
go
to
either
extreme.
With
India
facing
this
sudden
wave
of
heat,
we
need
to
ensure
all
the
mechanical
components
of
our
vehicle
are
in
proper
condition
so
as
to
ensure
no
problems
in
the
future.
