I don't know why, I just feel my car is faster despite it being hotter. I know it goes faster as gas lightens up, but this felt even more different. Maybe the Redline Complete Fuel System Cleaner is starting to work? Anway then I go fill it with gas but no Redline cleaner, feels as zippy, but weighted around sharper corners. (Speaking of yes you have to downshift to 3rd or 2nd on a 90 degree + turn if you don't get much space to place the car before the turn). I just don't freaking get it. Isn't hot temps supposed to hurt cars?

BTW
BUY A HYUNDAI

Would a Hyundai last as long as a Honda?

Hmm usually I feel the exact opposite. It seems more peppy on colder days, night time / early morning etc.

What does it have to do with Hyundai though? 😂

If you're such a Hyundai fanboy, why continue to be active on a Honda forum?

Temperature extremes can definitely have a performance impact on cars. One thing I've noticed many times in the last few weeks, is that the rev hang in my car (has to do with manual transmissions) is WAY lower when the temperature is really high. Basically, it makes it possible for me to shift gears faster when it's 95 degrees or higher.

I think it might be my oil. It takes forever to heat up, finally in 95 degree weather it heats up before I'm at the highway entrance.

Mayhaps it's this, but mine is a 10at. Maybe it likes being hotter than it typically is.

Interesting. What kind of engine oil are you putting in your car?

I always put Hyundai-brand oil in my cars. That oil is superior to other brands. I also post about the superiority of Hyundai-brand oil on Mobil1, Castro, and Shell Oil forums. J/K.

Regular ol' Redline. The deal is it's esther oil, and when I got amsoil and it made a huge racket I put high concentrate esther wax in, then it did the same thing. These esther wax oils take a long time to heat up, and even in winter I'm a few miles down the highway where the car lets me push it. You can feel all of a sudden the car isn't a slog about 35 seconds after it hits 4-bar on thethermometer.

I need to keep selling Hyundai or I just won't get my free Veloster N.

Sorry but this is in your head. Hotter air is less dense, it's simple physics. Doesn't matter the oil you run,( I've run amsoil, redline, royal purple, all of it.) This is especially true with forced induction vehicles. Water wetter and purple ice help some if you remove so of the antifreeze and add water especially. But nothing not even water meth will compensate for those higher temps. Wait until it cools back to the 70's and you will make this post again saying how much stronger the car is. I hated summer power loss in my turbo cars......oh btw 95 deg f isn't hot, been in the 110's here .

At least Ontario knows who he is "I'm just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude." lol

Racing oils and coolant additives do work but they arent miracle workers. They dont stop your car from heating up but what you will notice, especially from using both those products combined, is that the car will cool down much quicker, even idling in traffic which is huge. I would see a good 10-15deg f drop fairly quickly back to normal. My B5 S4 had a higher oil operating temp (250 is normal). I sued everything i could to keep that car cool because of that. You may also want to see if they make a finned oil filter sleeve cooler thingy. With coolant additives you want to open the radiator and take out some antifreeze and replace with water. You could technically run straight water, but it can rust and is not recommended for street cars. Water is one of the most efficient conductors of heat(they use it to cool nuclear power plants for a reason), but it is corrosive to the vehicle so they use antifreeze. The additives let you run water without being corrosive. The water meth will drop your intake temps 20deg C, but again your still starting at a higher base line with less dense air and the maf is already compensating to keep your air density constant the best it can. For example the reason why Nitrous oxide (N2O) increases power in vehicles is because it is three times more oxygen dense than normal atmospheric air. Also the reason why it works so well on cars with turbo/superchargers is because the process of the liquid N2O, changing into a gas, also removes a TREMENDOUS amount of heat. Again cooler temps means more power. Bottom line is the colder your ambient temps is, the more power you have.
