If at all possible, park inside a heated garage or at least under a carport. The more you can limit your car’s exposure to cold temperatures, damaging sleet and moisture, the better. You’ll reduce the risk of rust and damage and extend the life of your battery and other parts. If you have no other option, consider using a car cover.
Take advantage of the days when the Mercury rises above 32 degrees. Winter is not often seen as the season for washing and waxing vehicles, but it’s the best way to rid your car of corrosion-causing salt that accumulates on the body while driving on winter roads.
Your windshield deserves some protection, too. Invest in a new set of winter wiper blades, and don’t forget the back window if you drive a hatchback or SUV. A cold weather washer fluid will ensure your wiper blades don’t freeze up when you need them most.
Tire pressure decreases in cold temperatures, which can lead to a decreased lifespan of the tires and poor fuel economy (not to mention the safety risks). Check your tire pressure once a month, and top off as necessary.
Antifreeze keeps the water in your radiator and engine from freezing up in winter and helps prevent damage to engine parts. Oil changes are a good time to top off your antifreeze level.
