Heat has a very negative effect on engine performance. Whether in tractors, industrial machinery or vehicles, when an engine is exposed to extreme heat temperatures, it can cause it to lose power and deteriorate more quickly.

Protects vehicle from heat
Something essential! Protecting the engine from heat is the first thing you should do when the months of high temperatures arrive. We understand that there are machinery such as tractors that must be operating in full sun during the day, but once the work is finished we recommend that you protect the machinery to avoid excessive exposure to the sun and sudden changes in temperature.
Inspect the temperature gauge
It seems like a simple action, but many times we forget something as logical as looking at the engine temperature gauge. In this case, it is the temperature sensors that measure the temperature of the coolant in charge of absorbing the heat from the engine so that it works without problems.
Check your engine cooling
Check the engine cooling system well, check that all the components are clean and that there are no leaks.
Check the engine oil level
Did you know that a low oil level can be harmful to the engine in high temperature situations? That is why it is very important to check the engine oil level. Likewise, we recommend that you check the condition of your engine's oil filter, a fundamental element for the proper functioning of any engine, be it Kohler, Lombardini or Hatz.
Check the engine of your machinery frequently
Another logical recommendation, but sometimes we forget! Better safe than sorry, right? Well, we must also apply this in the maintenance of our engine. The heat makes the engines have to work harder to work, so arriving at this time of the year with all the revisions done is essential to detect possible anomalies in the parts of your engine that could lead to more serious problems.
With these simple recommendations you will be able to keep the engine of your car or machine and all its parts in perfect condition during the summer months. But remember that an engine needs care throughout the year, and although in the hot months it will be more exposed to breakdowns, it is always advisable to carry out periodic inspections of all parts 365 days a year.
