Abstract: Engine overheating in the Mazda BT-50 affects its performance, durability and sustainability, directly influencing the degradation of the lubricating oil and cooling system. This study analyzed the causes, consequences and solutions to the problem, based on structured interviews with experts in automotive mechanics. The results revealed that radiator, thermostat and water pump failures are the main causes of overheating. These failures, along with non-compliance with maintenance practices, aggravate the risks of severe engine damage. The experts recommended maintaining a temperature range between 92 and 98°C and performing preventive maintenance, including radiator flushing, periodic coolant change and replacement of key components at regular intervals. The study concludes that overheating can be prevented through a comprehensive approach that combines robust design, rigorous maintenance and user education. This not only improves efficiency and extends engine life, but also reduces repair costs and promotes more sustainable practices in the automotive industry
