2. PRE-TRIP PREPARATION
A. Cooling System Upgrades
Install oversized radiator (+30% capacity)
Use FEIBI RedCool coolant (boiling point 129°C)
Add oil cooler with thermostatic control
B. Filtration Modifications
1. Air Intake:
Cyclone pre-cleaner + washable foam filter
Daily visual inspection
2. Oil Breather:
Replace OEM with FEIBI DesertBreather
Self-cleaning centrifugal design
o
C. Engine Bay Protection
Apply heat reflective tape to critical components
Install sand shields on steering/suspension

Oil Analysis Focus:
Silicon Levels: >25ppm indicates air filter failure
Oxidation: >15% viscosity change requires immediate change
4. OPERATIONAL BEST PRACTICES
Driving Techniques
Morning Warm-Up: Limited to 30 seconds (avoid heat soak)
Hill Climbing: Maintain oil temp <125°C (use lower gear)
Dust Storms: Stop immediately - seal air intake
Parking Strategies
Shaded Parking: Use reflective windshield covers
Night Cooling: Pop hood after driving (accelerates cooldown)
5. EMERGENCY MEASURES
Overheating Protocol
1. Immediate Action:
Turn off AC
Run heater at max
Find shade
2. Cool Down:
Idle 5 mins before shutdown
Never pour water on engine
Sand Contamination Response
1. DO NOT START if air filter is compromised
2. Flush Procedure:
Remove spark plugs/injectors
Pour FEIBI FlushOil through cylinders
Hand-crank 10 revolutions
6. FEIBI DESERT PROTECTION KIT
Essential Additives:
DustShield: Coats internals against abrasives
TempShield: Raises thermal breakdown limit by 18°C
SealSaver: Prevents dry seals in extreme heat
Hardware Upgrades:
Sand-proof dipstick
Magnetic drain plug (captures wear metals)
