Episode notes

Heat destroys. Friction creates heat. Today, we'll sharpen your automotive Spidey senses with five simple habits that reduce friction. improve reliability, and help prevent expensive repairs before they happen.

Every vehicle gives warning signs - you have to know where to look. In today's Morning Drive, we're sharpening your automotive Spidey senses by exploring five practical ways to reduce friction, the hidden enemy behind excessive heat and premature component wear.

We'll discuss why friction creates heat, how proper maintenance reduces unnecessary wear, the importance of keeping fluids fresh, maintaining correct tire pressures, and why a proper wheel alignment matters more than most drivers realize. Plus, today's Motormouth's Summer Tech Tip reminds you to check your coolant - not just talk about it.

Today's Homework: look up the coefficient of friction and discover why understanding it can help you become a smarter vehicle owner.

Knowledge is horsepower. let's keep those wheels turning
