Battery life in extreme heat
Heat — not cold — is the biggest battery killer. Evaporation and faster chemical reactions shorten life dramatically. Test your battery every spring.
Keep your AC healthy
Run your AC year-round to keep seals lubricated. Replace the cabin filter annually. Weak cooling usually signals a refrigerant leak.
Cooling system
Check coolant level and condition. Old coolant loses its protective additives and can lead to overheating in I-610 gridlock.
Tires and pavement temperature
Asphalt can exceed 150°F. Check pressure monthly — underinflated tires flex and overheat.
Oil and fluids
Heat breaks down oil faster. If you do a lot of short trips or idle often, follow the 'severe service' schedule.
Your summer checklist
Battery test • AC performance check • Coolant inspection • Tire pressure • Wiper blades for summer storms • Oil change on schedule.
