Winter is coming. Is your car ready? There are several things you should do to make sure your car is ready for the cold temperatures, snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Check your tire pressure and tread depth. When the temperature drops, so does the air pressure in your vehicle’s tires. Underinflated tires increase your braking distance and can affect steering and handling. Good tread on your tires is crucial to provide traction in snow. Replace your windshield washer fluid an...d wiper blades. You use a lot of washer fluid when driving in Missouri’s winter weather. Use a windshield washer fluid that’s made for winterit won’t freeze on your windshield and helps loosen ice and snow. If your wipers are leaving streaks or show signs of cracking, replace them with a new set. Worn wiper blades won’t clear anything from your windshield. Change the oil and adjust the viscosity. In cold weather, you want thinner oil so it circulates through your engine easier. At your next oil change, switch to a lower viscosity like a 5W-30. Inspect the battery. Cold weather is tough on your battery and reduces the cranking power. Check for corrosion and fill your battery with distilled water if needed. If your battery is 3-5 years old, consider having it tested. Check the antifreeze. Antifreeze protects your engine from freezing in cold weather (and overheating on hot days).
