The winter season is almost here. Oh yes, it’s that time of
the year when we are left with no choice but submit to unfavorable, at times,
impossible driving conditions.

Visit the mechanic
Give your car a trip to the
mechanic for checkup. Ensure that you have sufficient anti-freeze, that the
brakes are working, that the lights are operational, that your coolant system
is well-maintained, etc. Your mechanic should be able to give you
recommendations from changing oil to getting snow tires and winter wiper
blades. If you plan on storing your car, be sure you have car cover.
Emergency kit
Unpredictable conditions call for
a higher level of preparedness. Be sure your gas tank is filled half full at a
minimum as it makes your car easier to start during chilly mornings. For
emergency purposes, it certainly wouldn’t be too much if you have the
following: ice scraper or shovel, jumper cables, flashlight, waterproof/strike
anywhere matches, and a first-aid kit. Be sure, too, that your cellphone is
fully charged whenever you go for a drive.
More tips
Turn on the radio for news before
you leave the house and while driving. Never neglect warnings. It would be good
to let someone know the route you’re taking in case you get stranded. Drive
smart, avoid abrupt changes in direction or speed, and always turn on your
lights when driving through rain or snow.

As we all know, the winter season
presents irregular demands on vehicles so readiness is imperative. It’s
critical enough for golf carts, what more for cars.
Hi, Oli. It sounds to me like your oil filter is blocked. If your car has fairly low mileage, than it’s probably got to do with poor parts installment by the mechanic. I’d go back and have them take a look--if you’re under warranty, it shouldn’t cost you anything. Otherwise, I’d check out this post to help save costs a bit. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteHi, I am looking for a car cover for keeping my vehicle secure from dust, scratches, debris, and so many other harmful elements. But There are a variety of car covers available in the market to choose from. It is OK to get confused while purchasing as there are so many of them. One of my friends suggests me to visit here for getting this. If you had more insight into it, I would much appreciate it.
