Page 3 8 Simple Hot Weather Tips For Your Family Car July and August can be unhappy months for many cars All you have to do is drive near a big city when the sun is bright and the traffic slow You'll see a lot of cars with their hoods jp and engines steam ing1 2 The owners steam, too. be cause it can mean expensive re pairs If your engine has overheated that severely, there’s a good chance that the cylinders or cam shafts have been scored, bearings badly worn .. expensive stuff with to day's engines1 (Most times, this is not the case There are a few sim pie things you can do to prevent your car from overheating.) Here are some hot weather tips that can help 1) Be sure your radiator is checked and contains the proper coolant Don't |ust add water pure water boils at a lower tempera ture than water mixed with anti freeze (ethylene Glycol) If you top off the radiator, be sure to use a 50 50 mix of water and anti freeze to keep that boiling point as high as possible and carry a gallon or two in the trunk (just in case) 2) Blast bugs off the radiator with a garden hose (a stiff stream of water) Clean them nut with a stiff bristled brush Proper air flow for your radiator not only keeps your engine cool but also cools the trans mission oil. 3) Be sure the transmission oil is at the proper level If it s a brown color and smells burnt, change it. Have the bands in your automatic transmission adjusted before you go on any long trips The weight of a trailer could be |ust enough to cause the bands to slip and leave you standed on your vacation 4) Inspect fan belts to check if they are glazed or cracked If a belt breaks or slips badly on a hot day. your coolant won't circulate proper ly and you are sure to overheat Your battery and air conditioner will suffer, too While you're at it, in spect the hoses Are they cracked or mushy? It you have any doubt, replace the belts and hose before you start They always fail at the worst possible times, so replace them before the trouble starts) 6) Turn off air conditioning if the engine is overheating. Air condi tioning puts a big load on your cool ing system 6) Be careful! Wait until the en gme cools to take the radiator cap off The radiator is full of super heated water under pressure which will explode in your face and give you a nasty burn if you try to take the cap off too soon. 7) Change your oil regularly You should start thinking about oil changes every 3.000 miles no matter what your car manual says As en gine oil gets dirty, it losses lubnca ting power; high friction means a hot engine Change your oil before you go on a long trip - it's cheap in surance for your engine Always use a high quality oil (in the sum mertime. the higher viscosity grades are better) Change the filter, too It contains a quart of filthy oil (no sense in mixing that in with new clean oil). 8) Add Tufoil to your engine at all oil changes Tufoil is a friction modifier that makes all engines run cooler. It helps your engine start easier when it's hot and has been shut off after a long drive Engine parts expand and pinch together when they are overheated Tufoil's super low friction helps get things moving with less strain on the bat tery and less wear and tear on the starting motor Six U S. patents have been issued on it so far more are pending If Tufoil is not in your area yet, call the toll free number 11 HIX) 922 00751 to order We promise to ship the next day (or speed it to you, UPS Blue Label, for a slight extra charge in time for that trip you were planning).
