WINTER SEASON TIPS
Keep your gas tank over half full for added safety. In extremely cold
climates consider installing an engine and/or battery heater.
-
Anti-freeze protection should be at least -25
degrees (50/50 mix 35 degrees).
-
Occasionally pour in a can of fuel line anti-freeze
in very cold weather.
-
On cold, windy nights, park with the front of the
car away from the wind.
-
On manual transmission cars, depress the clutch
before engaging the starter so it doesn't have to turn the transmission
gears which are immersed in 90W gear oil.
-
Door lock defroster is useless locked inside the
car. Keep it in the house, purse, pockets or desk.
-
Tires deflate as temperature decreases one pound of
pressure for every 10 degrees of temperature drop.
-
A 75 watt light bulb under the hood near the
battery can help keep the chill off of the battery; this could help a
cold start.
