Preparing the car for winter

Top 5 tips for comfortable and safe driving in the cold season.

Winter is a difficult time for motorists. Low temperatures, snow, ice and short daylight require special preparation of the car. Following our simple tips, you will be able to provide your iron horse with reliable protection and safety on the road in the cold season.

1. Oil and filter replacement
Even if you have recently changed the oil, do not be lazy to check its level and condition before the start of winter. After all, as the temperature drops, the oil thickens, which can lead to a lack of it. Replace the air and fuel filters to ensure efficient operation of the engine and fuel system.

2. Checking the cooling system
Make sure that there is enough antifreeze in the cooling system, and it has not lost its properties. If necessary, replace it with a new one to avoid freezing and overheating of the engine.

3. Battery preparation
Check the battery charge and charge it if necessary. Also check the electrolyte level and density to make sure the battery is ready for winter. If possible, replace the old battery with a new one.

4. Tires: Pay attention to your wheels
Check the tire pressure and replace them with winter tires if you don't have an all-season. Keep in mind that winter tires have a deeper tread and special spikes for better traction in icy conditions.

5. De-icer and scrapers
Do not forget to purchase de-icing liquid for glasses and ice scrapers. In winter, such accessories are absolutely necessary!

Following these simple tips, your car will be ready for winter and will delight you with its reliable operation throughout the cold season. Have a good winter and safe roads!
