says the most important aspect of

preparing for our fall and winter is
making sure the tevel and condition
of the car's antifreeze is sufficient.

referring to the minimum
threshold of the
antifreeze.
He adds that most of
today's cars do not need a
special winter tune-up,
but should get one every
25,000 kin regardless of
the season.
Zulps atsu said that
it’s important for a car to
have good oi] during the
colder months.
“Obviously getting the
oil changed and getting a
good grade of 10W30 or
5W30 oil into the car
before the winter is a
good idea and have it
going into the winter with
clean, fresh oil and a
clean filter.”
This is important

slow starting which, in turn, puts
undue stress on its starter motor and
battery.

Finally, he recommends check-
ing the battery and making sure all
its fluids are topped off and that

there's no corrosion on or around
the terminals.

“In cold weather, corrosion
between the terminals can ca
hard starting, slow starting or
starting.”
