While people often discuss how winter weather can affect driving, summer weather is also a major concern for the longevity of your car. The added miles from road trips and kids taking the car out slowly adds up, and during these journeys the car is exposed to the warmer roads. All of the added stress on your vehicle can decrease its lifetime if not properly cared for with the appropriate Nissan service. Don’t hesitate to bring in your Nissan Maxima today to a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan to keep it running smoothly in the heat.

Coolant

In order to keep the engine at the ideal temperature during driving, coolant is circulated throughout the car. If the car runs too hot, it can interfere with fuel efficiency as well as possibly lead to permanent engine damage if the car overheats. With the added heat, the temperature can rise quite rapidly, so have our service experts make sure your coolant is topped off and no hoses are leaking.

Tire Damage

Proper inflation is always important to keep in mind no matter the season, but it is even more critical when tires are exposed to summer road temperatures. A low or high pressure tire will wear down much faster and reduce your fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires are less rigid and as a result have more surface area in contact with the hot road. This makes them more susceptible to a blowout, so have your tires checked before any longer trip.
