Vehicle Safety

Having a properly maintained vehicle in winter is essential for vehicle safety. The last thing you want is a breakdown in the middle of winter. An event that is an inconvenience in the summer can become life-threatening during a winter storm. You should check your Owner's Manual to determine when time is for an oil change, fluid top-up, radiator flush, or transmission service. Also, it might be a good time to have an inspection to make sure there are no unpleasant surprises in store.

Winterize Your Vehicle

You need to do a few things to winterize your vehicle, with the most important being an oil change to ensure you have an adequately lubricated engine for winter driving. It is also time to make sure you have winter tires with good tread. Cold weather can be hard on batteries, so it is a good idea to make sure yours is in good shape, and it is time to change it if it is at the end of its lifespan. The final thing you should do is to prepare an emergency kit. Some things you might want to include are water, non-perishable snacks, a heavy blanket, flashlight and batteries, an extra battery pack for smartphone charging, a snow shovel, and sand for traction.
