December 22nd, 2011
Is your vehicle ready for winter driving?
Proper maintenance for your automobile is always important, but this especially is true during the winter.
• Check your coolant. Make sure the coolant level is correct and that it is mixed according to the manufacturer’s specifi cations.
• Use a lighter weight engine oil, like 10W40 for easier starts.
• Add dry gas to fuel to prevent the fuel line from freezing.
• Don’t let your gas tank drop below a quarter of a tank.
• Keep your washer fl uid tank fi lled (store extra fluid in your trunk) and be sure the fluid is mixed with an antifreeze agent.
• Inspect your wiper blades to be sure they are working properly.
• Have your battery tested and replace it if it is not working at its peak. Cold weather can run down a battery quickly.
• Make sure tire pressure (including the spare) meets manufacturer’s specifi cations and that tire treads are not worn excessively.
