AUTO REPAIR ASK AN EXPERT! Q. How can I prepare my vehicle for winter/sub-zero temps? Eugene Bodmer Owner There are a few tips to keep in mind. Have your battery tested as they normally they last 4-5 years. Change your oil. It builds up moisture over time, especially during cold temps. Make sure to use correct viscosity OW20, 5W20 are best for these temps. Follow manufacture recommendations. Have your cooling system checked and make sure antifreeze is clean & tests to at least -35F. Also, check belts & hoses. This is important to make sure your heater is in top shape! Make sure to fill fuel tank as it leaves less room for condensation if full. Make sure all recommended maintenance is up to date, especially tune-up (spark plugs) according to manufacture recommendations. Check tire pressure, wiper blades, fill washers with strong windshield solvent of at least -20F.
