1. How To Keep Your Vehicle Running Cool In Hot
Weather

2. It is the beginning of August here is Texas
and the temperature today is going to be
over 100 degrees.

3. As drivers the first thing we think about on a
day like this, is how we can stay cool while
driving.

4. Fortunately, almost every vehicle on the
road today comes equipped with built in air
conditioning that even on the hottest day is
capable of keeping the inside of our vehicle
nice an comfortable.

5. It is usually somewhat of an afterthought
that we think about the importance of
keeping our engine running cool as well.

6. And this is very important, because if our
engine overheats, then it will not be long
until the nice cool air being produced inside
our vehicles is going to stop flowing.

7. Coolant Works To Keep Your Vehicle Running
Cool

8. I went for a swim in my pool this morning
and even though it was very hot, the water
was cool and refreshing.

9. Our engines need to be cool and refreshed
as well and this is accomplished in part by
the use of engine coolant.

10. In order to be certain that the coolant is
prepared to do its job, vehicle owners should
flush their system and replace the coolant on
the schedule that is recommended by the
manufacturer of their vehicle.

11. Vehicle owners may also consider using a
radiator coolant additive, which is designed
to help to prevent overheating, improve
engine performance and keep the cooling
system clean.

12. Every vehicle on the
road has a number of
belts and hoses built
into it.

13. All it takes is one of these belts or hoses to
break or crack and bad things can happen
very quickly.

14. Don't touch these belts or hoses directly
after you have been driving your vehicle as
they become very hot from use.

15. When your vehicle has been sitting for a
while, every so often take a look at them and
see if you can identify any cracks in the belts
of leaks from the hoses.

16. Besides your coolant, make sure that your
other fluids are meeting their minimum
required levels.

17. Periodically check your
brake fluid, power
steering fluid,
transmission fluid and
your engine oil levels.

18. These various fluids all play a part in helping
to keep your vehicle running as cool as
possible in hot weather.

19. Your Battery Also Helps To Keep Your Vehicle
Running Cool

20. And don't forget your battery if you wish to
keep your vehicle running cool.

21. It needs fluid as well.

22. Hot weather can evaporate battery fluid and
low levels of battery fluid can damage the
batteries internal plates and speed up the
corrosion process.

23. Follow these steps to keep you vehicle
running cool and it will reward you with the
nice refreshing air conditioning that we all
crave while driving.
