I recently relocated from Al Ain to Dubai for work, and the difference in driving is night and day. In Al Ain, most of my driving was open roads with steady speeds. Now, I'm crawling in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Hessa Street every morning and evening. It's only been a few months, but I feel like I need to rethink how I take care of my car. I've been searching for good urban driving maintenance advice because I know this stop-start lifestyle is tougher on a vehicle. I found this detailed article that explained exactly why city traffic is so much harder on engines and transmissions. It talked about how constant idling and heat buildup in congestion breaks down oil faster and stresses the cooling system. The guide really drove home that the maintenance schedule for a city car needs to be more aggressive than for a highway car. For those of you who've always driven in Dubai, do you service your car more often than the manual suggests?
