Summer Maintenance Guide for Motorcycles and Cars

Motul recommends motorcyclists check eight critical items before summer riding. Key actions include measuring tire pressure while the tires are cold, inspecting tires for wear or damage, confirming oil level and condition on a flat surface, and monitoring coolant level and hoses for leaks. Riders should also watch engine temperature, avoid opening a hot radiator, and ensure fans operate correctly.

A separate guide lists automobile models known for long‑term reliability when maintained properly. The Mazda 3, Mercedes‑Benz C 220 CDI (W204), Fiat Egea, Hyundai i20 and Suzuki Swift are highlighted for durable engines, simple transmissions and low‑cost upkeep, making them suitable for owners seeking minimal maintenance expenses over many years.
