Summer Conservation Note: Do not immediately turn off the engine temperature is too high

■ “boil” to refrain from immediate extinction

Often occur in summer hot weather, 40 degrees high temperature not only makes people feel out of the intolerable heat, it increased the car, “boil” chance. For the car, “boil” means the car’s radiator temperature reaches boiling point, which can be directed from the automotive temperature meter readings to see, in accordance with the general requirements, the Indicative car temperature can not exceed 95 ℃, when the water temperature exceeds 100 ℃, the car had absolutely can not be opened. Because the engine temperature is too high, parts of parts will meet the expanding gap decreases, the other hand, high temperature oil viscosity reduction, in which case, the parts wear increased, decreased engine life.

In daily life, many owners experience vehicle “boil” of the situation, often choose to turn off immediately, or even immediately open the hood to the tank water. In fact, this approach would not only damage the engine produce more likely to be boiling hot water tank by the burn.

“Discovery vehicle boil, do not immediately turn off, should remain idle.” Engine water kit, why boil the water because the temperature is too high, that is, cylinder, cylinder wall, cylinder head temperature is too high. If the flame at this time, parts are in the expansive, all with a very small space, parking will result in some loss of soft metal, and some may even cause sticky cylinder.

Found that vehicles driving on the way if the “boil”, the guard against the engine block, cylinder head poured cold water to cool. This may cause sudden engine block because the cold and burst, causing the consequences of not repairing.

Conservation Return Weapon: summer traffic on the way to prevent a “boil”, and owners should always check the cooling system in peacetime, especially check the thermostat is working properly. Before moving day, check the water tank is not water, if water should be promptly filled. Long-distance driving or when traveling a long list of instructions and pay attention to water temperature readings, if the water temperature is too high, the best rest stop, a traffic jam when the air conditioning off.
■ Do not blindly remove thermostat

Except in the case of vehicles, “boil” should pay attention to proper handling, summer maintenance for the vehicle engine, the owner must not blindly remove thermostat.

Some owners of friends, except for the car wash pass welding tank, add coolant replacement, but also ‘kindly’ to remove the thermostat, but to do so is to create a hidden engine damage. Thermostat to control the vehicle cooling system coolant loop size of the switch. When it opens, the role of coolant under the pump big loop, flow through an external radiator, so as to achieve greater cooling effect. When the thermostat is closed, the cooling liquid, macro, will not flow through an external radiator, but only within the waterway in the engine cooling.

Conservation Return Weapon: For more hot summer weather, the inspection and maintenance of a good thermostat performance, and adjust water pump belt tension allows the vehicle coolant circulation system of a large fully cooled, thereby cooling the engine achieve better results.
 

■ oil, coolant should by no means vague

For the summer, the conservation of the engine, lubrication system is a critical aspect. Particularly high car, the engine temperature is generally higher. Summer in the selection of engine oil should change with the high viscosity grades of lubricating oil, and appropriate to shorten drain intervals, wheel bearing grease with a high drop point, a change in the summer transmission and differential gear oil Thick , brake fluid with high boiling point brake fluid.

In addition, the choice is also a summer coolant maintenance motor vehicle owners need to pay attention to aspects. In summer, the engine failure was significantly higher than normal risk of over half of them work by the engine overheating caused. Some owners seek lower daily life, to take water as coolant, the boiling point of water, however, only 100 ℃, in the summer simply can not meet the normal engine cooling needs.

Conservation Return Weapon: A good practice is to add the word car water coolant, no water, this type of coolant to prevent the formation of air resistance level, to overcome the fundamental medium of water or water cooled engine damage. In addition, up to the boiling point of 191 ℃ can quickly resolve the engine generate excess heat out, balancing the engine temperature. According to experience, filling the coolant water can save about 10% of fuel consumption and extend engine life up to 50%, and significantly reduce engine failure. “
