With Winter right around the corner, we wanted to give a nine great tips to make sure that your vehicle is safe for the upcoming weather changes.
1) Check the freeze point of your Anti-Freeze - If it is not the correct ratio of water to anti-freeze, it is suggested to flush it to the correct ratio. If this is not done, it could result it cracked blocks.
2) Have your oil checked - Oil tends to get thicker in colder weather, so you need to make sure you have the proper oil to lubricate your engine.
3) Tires - Make sure that your tire pressure is correct and that there isn't a significant amount of wear.
4) Air Filters - Need to be clean.
5) Belts and hoses- Especially your serpentine belt, which is your fan belt.
6) Brakes - With rain and snow, make sure that your brakes are in good shape. Switch to snow tires if needed.
7) Wiper Blades- Your visibility is not only essential to your safety, but also to those around you.
8) Four Wheel Drive- If you haven't used it during the summer months, have it checked that it's in correct working condition.
9) Battery - Check for corrosion and that it has plenty of water.
