Summer in Syria brings temperatures exceeding 40°C, placing exceptional stress on your car's engine. Here's how to protect it effectively.

Why Summer Is Harder on Engines

  • High ambient temperatures push engine operating temperatures even higher
  • Stop-start traffic prevents air-cooling of the engine
  • Low-quality oils lose viscosity in extreme heat, reducing protection

Practical Tips

  • Use a full synthetic oil that maintains viscosity in heat — such as ALHAZEM Ultra 5W-30 or Diesel Ultra 5W-30
  • Check your oil level monthly in summer — hot engines consume oil faster
  • Monitor coolant level (radiator) — oil alone isn't enough to manage heat
  • Change oil earlier if you're consistently driving in severe conditions
  • Avoid maximum A/C load during steep inclines — adds strain to the engine

Bottom Line

Choose a high-quality oil and check its level regularly. Your engine works harder in summer — give it the protection it deserves with ALHAZEM engine oils designed for the demands of the Middle East climate.
