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).
Have a happy summer and enjoy
your vacation)
