Yea, heat, the car get hot inside in the summer with a full belly pan. Put some vents around the gas tank to help keep it cool, or the gas might boil and build up pressure. I wrapped the exhaust pipe and muffler with fiberglass cloth and foil. Also, need to add vents to let the radiator air flow out underneath the car (truck). i run thinner synthetic oil, 5w less than oem spec.
