Be Prepared For Winter
   
 
Make sure all of your scheduled maintenance is up to date and that your vehicle is in tune. Here are a few checks you can make yourself.
   
 
  • Check your owner's manual for the proper viscosity oil to use for your climate. Usually 5W30 or 10W30 is recommended.
  • Check the protection level of your antifreeze.
  • Check your belts, hoses, and top off all fluid levels.
  • Check your tire's air pressure and tread depth.
  • Make sure your windshield washers work and are adjusted. Top off windshield washer fluid.
  • Check the condition of all your wiper blades. Carry a spare set of wiper blades in case they get damaged from ice or snow.
  • Check climate control system to verify the blower motor is quiet and works on all speeds. Also verify the air is delivered to the proper location when selected.
  • Make sure your vehicle's engine reaches operating temperature and you have plenty of hot air available on demand.
  • Make sure your rear defroster works.
  • Check your brakes and make sure your car stops straight without any vibration.
  • Lubricate all locks and hinges and brake cables.
