    do you do this open your hood pag nakauwi na kayo sa bahay at naka park na sa mga garage niyo? para sumingaw yun heat from the engine?

    kasi I notice maraming mga old cars na cracked, faded na ang paints especially sa hood, I thin this cause by the heat of the engine?

    tama ba ito or sayang lang oras? actually nakita ko kasing ginagawa ng friend ko back in HS, laht ng cars nila nakabukas ang hood pag nasa parking na kaya ginaya ko na rin hanggan ngayon ginagawa ko pa rin...

    i don't. the engine can cool down as it is.
    and imho, the cracked and faded paints sa hood is not entirely due to that reason. it could be the quality of paint, the manner it was painted, the manner it was taken cared of by the owner, not necessarily because of the heat, although it is a factor.

    No I don't. Some of my cars are relatively old but I never have my hood up to cool it down and lahat sila ok naman.

    Nope. Pointless, lagyan mo na lang ng heat shield sa loob bro. I mean under the hood...

    Mga ilang years ko rin ginawa ito not because of would be problem sa paint kundi sa pusa naming doon nahihiga eh hindi ko naman binili yun para gawin niyang tulugan But now hindi na, inisip ko baka malaspag naman ang release cable sa kaka batak almost everyday.

    nope. lagay ka na lang heatshield kung kinakabahan ka don sa paint. mas mabilis kasi madudumihan ung engine bay pag iniwan mong nakabukas. sobrang maalikabok dito sa pinas eh. hehehe

    No. Walang bukasan ng hood. Unless mayroon akong gustong i-check.

    Bago pumasok sa garahe, patay aircon, fan na lang. Pag park ko sa garahe, medyo may incline kasi, patay ilaw, patay fan ng aircon, damputin lahat ng ilalabas sa car (cell phone, wallet, etc), then turn off the engine. Ginagawa ko ito para kahit paano maka pag cool down ng konti bago ko i-turn off. Pag naririnig ko na mataas ang rev ng fan, di ko muna pinapatay.

    yes im doing that simply because i want the heat of my engine went out fast.. after that kukumutan ko na.. anyway i dont know if cause yun kaya nag fade/crack yung paint sa hood. imo, i dont think na related yun, kasi kahit naman nakapark yung kotse natin sa initan di naman agad nagbabago ang kulay and besides ang mga hood natin is designed to cover the engine.. well, lets hear more from our gurus..

    I only do that from time-to-time (mga once or twice a week) even though I use the car almost daily.

    Yeah... one reason is to let the heat escape more quickly (lalo when coming from a long drive) though this isn't really that necessary for modern cars (since may heat shield nga naman).

    Another use for that is to let me do a quick check on my fluid levels.

    No i don't open my hood sa garahe when i arrive from work. Natatakot ako na baka merong pumasok na daga or pusa at kalikutin ang mga linya. Linalagyan ko na lang ng mga empty carton boxes sa hood para di nila maakyatan at mahigaan. Siguro yung cracked paint sa hood ay dahil sa overexposure to the elements especially kung wala kang garahe, and nakabilad ng buong araw ang kotse sa sunlight.

do you open your hood when you get home?
