WINTER MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR YOUR CAR
Are you looking to winterize your car and ensure it is ready for the cold weather? Robinson Chevrolet Seaforth has all the tips for winter maintenance to keep your vehicle in top condition throughout the winter. Pay attention to a few critical areas of your car to ensure it is fully prepared for the cold and snowy weather ahead.
GET YOUR CAR PROPERLY PREPARED WITH WINTER TIRES
The soft compound and deep tread patterns of winter tires can improve your car's traction and braking performance in cold, snowy conditions. Make sure you have four winter tires of the right size and get them mounted and balanced professionally to ensure they operate safely on your vehicle.
CHECK THE BATTERY FUNCTIONALITY
Battery health is critical during the winter, so take your car in for a battery test to ensure it is in good condition. You should also consider carrying a battery charger or power pack in case you get stranded on the side of the road. Having the battery checked regularly can assist in identifying any potential problems before they occur.
KEEP YOUR FLUID LEVELS TOPPED UP
Cleaning and changing your engine oil regularly will ensure proper engine function. You should also top up other essential fluids like power steering, transmission, and brake fluids to ensure they are at the correct levels. Synthetic oil performs better in cold temperatures, so consider switching to a synthetic blend.
CHECK YOUR LIGHTS AND OTHER EXTERIOR COMPONENTS
Ensure all your car's lights are correctly functioning, including headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights. Additionally, check your windshield wipers and wiper fluid to ensure they are in good condition, and keep an extra set of windshield wipers in your car if you need to replace them on the go.
