Here are the few tips to keep you motoring throughout the winter. Get rid of the blues, washer fluid that is. Some plain blue washer fluids don't add up to much more than water and a little bit of solvent. So they can freeze on your windshield when the temperature drops. Instead, fill your reservoir with Prestone De-Icer Windshield Washer Fluid with Dirt Blocker. It can clear light ice and help improve winter driving visibility.
Change your oil. Motorists' that travels short trips of less than 10 miles when outside temperatures remain below freezing should follow a severe maintenance oil change schedule. While the recommended change interval is 3,000 to 5,000 miles, a severe schedule may require more frequent oil changes in synthetic motor oil. Check your owner's manual to learn the interval schedule that works best for your vehicle.
Prepare for the worst. It could be devastating if you get stranded in cold temperatures. Carry an emergency kit that includes a cellphone, spare jacket, blanket, extra gloves, scarves, and water for yourself, and extra functional fluids for your car.
Don't be a speed demon. No matter how greater driver you maybe, keep in mind that in slippery conditions your car will not be able to stop or turn as quickly as it would on dry pavement.
Don't leave tank on empty. During the winter, it is important to keep your gas tank at least half full. Filling up your tank helps decrease the chances of moisture forming in the fuel lines and possibly freezing.
If you live in extremely cold temperatures, you might want to consider purchasing a fuel additive like Prestone gas treatment that fights gas line freeze.
So if you want to avoid the hassle and save some time on those frigid winter mornings, take my tips into consideration. To learn more about ice-fighting technology that can help improve your winter driving season visit www.prestone.com.
