Winter Car Care Tips
So what does your vehicle need to be winter-ready? First, check your battery and replace it if it's nearing the end of its life. You don't want to be stranded with a dead battery on a frigid morning in Washington DC. Have your charging and starting systems inspected as well.
Next, examine your tires. Good tread depth is critical for traction on snowy or icy roads. If your tires are worn, consider replacing them. For even better traction and handling in winter conditions, install a set of winter tires. When driving around Baltimore, you'll appreciate the extra grip.
Visibility is also key for winter driving. Make sure your wipers are in good shape and your wiper fluid is filled with a winter blend. Check that your heater and defroster are working properly to keep your windshield clear. If you're commuting in Alexandria VA, you know how important it is to defrost your windows before hitting the road.
Other winter car care musts include: checking your oil level and using the proper viscosity for cold temperatures, keeping your gas tank at least half full to prevent fuel line freeze-up, and inspecting all lights to make sure they are functioning. It's also a good idea to put together a winter emergency kit with items like an ice scraper, flashlight, blankets and snacks in case you get stuck in wintery conditions around Waldorf MD.
