With temperatures hitting all time lows, properly maintaining your car, SUV, or truck in subzero temperatures can save you plenty of headaches. The Admiral has a few cold weather auto care tips to keep you headache free. 1. Have your battery condition serviced and tested regularly. When the weather gets cold, your battery loses its ability to crank your car over. The colder it gets, the better battery you need. Try to use one rated at least 600 cold-cranking amps. 2. Keep your windshields clean. Be sure to buy a top quality windshield washer fluid rated to at least -25 degrees for your car and replace those wiper blades regularly. 3. Do you ever wonder why it is getting so foggy in your car when you turn on your heat, could it be those wet, snow covered floor mats? It is recommended that you pull wet or snow-covered floor mats out of your car at night to keep moisture out of your car. That moisture is what can cause windows to ice up as your car heater evaporates snow and water. Bring them inside and let them dry out at night. Hope you found these tips helpful and remember, Admiral Auto Service & Parts Departments are ready to assist you with any of your vehicles winter woes.
