Driving in the UAE is a bit hard on cars. The hot summer weather and dusty air can damage your vehicle if you don’t take care of it regularly & properly. Whether you drive in busy Dubai streets or on Abu Dhabi highways, regular car care keeps you safe and helps your car efficient and smooth on road. MML Auto has been taking care of cars in Dubai for almost 28 years. We know what cars need in the UAE’s challenging weather.
This simple checklist will help your car in good shape and save money on big repairs later.

Why Your Car Needs Regular Care in the UAE
The UAE’s hot weather is very difficult on cars. Summer temperatures can go more than 50°C, which damages engine parts, tires, and fluids rapid. Desert sand gets into air filters and can complain your engine and paintwork. That’s why regular maintenance is so important here, it keeps your car running well for years.

Important Maintenance Jobs for UAE Drivers
1. Changing Your Engine Oil
Oil change service for VW in Dubai and all other car brands needs to happen more often here than in cooler countries. UAE’s heat makes engine oil wear out very fast, so it can’t save your engine efficiently.
Suggested oil change frequency:
• Oil should change every 10,000 km if using fully synthetic oil
• Check your oil level once in a month
You should change the oil if your oil looks dark, your engine sounds noisy, or the oil warning light turns on.

2. Air conditioning maintenance
Your car’s AC works extra hard in the UAE. A broken AC is not comfortable, it can also be dangerous in summer.
AC Care Tips:
• Get your AC checked once a year before summer starts
• Check coolant gas levels regularly
• Change cabin air filters every 15,000 km
• Clean AC vents and see for any bad smell

3. Checking Your Battery
Hot weather harm car batteries faster than cold weather. Most batteries in the UAE only last 2-3 years instead of 4-5 years in cooler places.
What to Check:
• Look for rust on battery connections
• Check battery water levels (if your battery has caps)
• Test battery power every 6 months
• Replace your battery if it’s over 3 years old

4. Taking care of Tires
Hot roads and high temperatures make tire pressure go up so fast and tires wear out even faster.
Tire Care Tips:
• Check tire pressure weekly (when tires are cold)
• Rotate your tires every 10,000 km
• Look for cracks, bumps, or uneven surfaces
• Keep wheels properly aligned

5. Checking Your Brakes
Your brakes keep you safe. Regular checks make sure they work well.
Brake Check Schedule:
• In every 15,000 km should check brake pads
• Check brake fluid levels every month
• Listen for squeaking or grinding sounds
• Feel for shaking when you brake

6. Cooling System Care
The cooling system stops your engine from getting too hot in UAE’s hot weather.
What to Watch:
• Check coolant levels every week
• Look for leaks
• Check hoses for wears or soft spots
• Change coolant every 40,000 km

7. Replacing Air Filters
Desert dust and sand block your air filter quickly, making your engine work poorly.
Filter Care Schedule:
• Check air filter every 5,000 km
• Replace air filters every 15,000 to 20,000 km (more often if you drive in dusty areas)
• Clean reusable filters as the manual says
