10 Easy Tips for Winterizing your car

A mild winter snow

Sometimes the last thing we think about is protecting our cars when the winter cold sets in.

Here are a 10 Tips on helping to protect your vehicle from the harsh Winter: 

1. Keep your gas tank on the full side- this will allow for less condensation in your tank.

2. Squirt some WD-40 or lubricant, a little lubricant into your door locks- The locks won't freeze on you.

3. Spray a lubricant (Cooking Spray) on your door seals (rubber) then rub down with a paper towel. This should keep your doors from freezing shut.

4. Wash and wax your car one time before winter. The salt can do a real number on your car's body and frame.

5. Use the 4WD, it will give you better traction but still slow down, just because you are in 4WD doesn't mean you can STOP any better.

6. Keep an extra Jacket in your car, one you don't mind getting messed up.

7. Consider N2 for your tires. Pure nitrogen tends to react significantly less with temperature helping the contact patch on your tire remain uniform in varying temperatures.

8. Clean and lubricate all the door seals. Clean with a good window cleaning olution, then spray silicone lubricant on a paper towel and wipe down the seals and mating metal surfaces. Keeps you from having doors frozen shut.  

9. Drivers do not use Cruise Control on wet or cold frozen roads. The Cruise control can overspin the powered tires.

Dude - Which one is my CAR?

10. Treat your alloy rims. Spray some nonstick spray( like Pam) on a rag, then wipe down the rims. Keeps the salt that gets kicked up from doing much, and keeps your wheels looking nice.

Keep it between the lines,
Happy Motoring
