Been driving in this region for over a decade now and I still see people making the same mistakes I did when I first arrived. The biggest lesson I learned is that the standard advice from back home just doesn't cut it. You really have to focus on car maintenance tips for hot climates because the heat affects everything from your battery life to your rubber hoses. For me, the game changer was switching to a thicker grade of fully synthetic oil and actually sticking to a strict schedule for changing it, usually every 5,000 kilometers no matter what. Anyone else found a particular tip that saved them from a breakdown?
