Pre-Monsoon Car Care Tips: Get Your Vehicle Monsoon-Ready with Bharat Lubricants

Why Pre-Monsoon Car Care is Important

As the monsoon season approaches, your car faces increased challenges—slippery roads, low visibility, water ingress, and rust. Preparing your vehicle in advance ensures a safe, smooth, and damage-free ride.

One of the most critical aspects of monsoon vehicle care is engine protection, and that’s where BHARAT 5W-40 SEMI SYNTHETIC API SN and BHARAT 5W-40 FULLY SYNTHETIC API SN by Bharat Lubricants play a key role.

Top 10 Pre-Monsoon Car Care Tips

1. Replace Wiper Blades
   Check for worn-out or cracked blades and replace them to ensure clear visibility during heavy rains. Use washer fluid with a rain-repellent formula for best results.
2. Inspect Tyre Tread and Pressure
   Ensure your tyres have a minimum tread depth of 2 mm. Keep them properly inflated for maximum grip on wet roads.
3. Get Brakes Checked
   Have brake pads, discs, and fluid inspected. Waterlogged roads reduce braking efficiency, so this is non-negotiable.
4. Test All Lights
   Ensure all lights—headlights, brake lights, fog lamps—are fully functional for safer driving during heavy showers and fog.
5. Check Battery Health
   Humidity affects battery performance. Clean terminals and ensure the battery is well charged and free of corrosion.
