Winter weather is here to stay, so it is essential to make sure your vehicle is prepared to weather the snow and ice safely.
With common issues such a low tire pressure and road salt damage, winter weather can wreak havoc on your vehicle. Follow these car care tips to help keep your car in good shape throughout winter:
Weekly tire pressure checks.
When you drive with underinflated tires, you cause your tires to wear down faster and lose traction on slippery or icy roads. Every 10-degree drop in temperature results in a loss of a pound of tire pressure, which is why weekly pressure checks are crucial.
Add a protective coating.
To keep your paint pristine, add a coat of polymer wax to help protect against road salt, snow, grime, sleet, and more. Also, be sure to use high-pressure car washes after winter storms to help rinse away build-up from your underbody, wheels, and wheel wells.
Keep your fuel tank at least half full.
In the event of an emergency or if you get stuck in the snow and need to wait for rescue, keeping your gas tank at least half full will keep you prepared. If you are on a long road trip, plan out stops for gas in advance.
