Extreme heat can damage your car, but simple precautions can help. Checking tire pressure, oil, and battery condition can prevent damage and reduce the risk of breakdowns.
Extreme heat can be damaging to your vehicle. To prepare your car for hot weather, check your tire pressure regularly and fill them as needed, ideally when they are cold. Heat causes oil to thin out and lose its lubricating qualities, so consider changing your oil if your car's sensors recommend it. Underinflated tires can generate heat and increase the risk of a blowout on hot asphalt. Check your battery terminals for corrosion and consider using a battery maintainer if you don't drive your car regularly. By taking these precautions, you can help prevent damage and reduce the risk of breakdowns.
