While hot weather is not a serious threat to vehicle engines, it is important to always check the condition of your vehicle periodically. This is done to reduce the potential for overheating or overheating.

Furthermore, the condition of the vehicle engine needs to be checked regularly to ensure that all components function properly and there is no damage to the system that can cause engine failure while on the highway.

"The heat of the vehicle must be watched out for so that the engine becomes overheated, so it is necessary to check the condition of the radiator, radiator cooling liquid, and the radiator fan motor in good condition," explained Sapta.
