It's Cold and Snows a lot here in Central New York.
1. Check your anti-freeze. This is the No. 1 cause of engine-related breakdowns is cooling system failure.
2. Replace your windshield wiper blades twice a year. Plus, fill the windshield washer reservoir with freeze resistant wiper fluid & keep an extra bottle in the trunk.
3. Check your battery. The colder it gets the weaker every battery gets. If the battery is more than three years old, have a technician test its capacity. Have the alternator tested at the same time. Make sure the battery terminal ends are corrosion-free.
4. Check your tire pressure when the tires are cold. When the weather turns cold, the air inside the tire will contract and the pressure will drop.
5. Are your tires safe? Our upstate New York snow storms can be very dangerous. Seek out the advice of a professional. For a personal reference, Put a penny headfirst between the treads. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s hair, it’s time to replace the tire.
6. Check your spare tire. Make sure it has the proper air pressure and tread depth and that all the proper tire-changing equipment is in the vehicle.
7. Electrical systems working? Make sure your lights, heater and defrosters are working properly.
8. Check all rubber hoses and belts to ensure they are not damaged. Coolant hoses wear from the inside out. Inspect for heavy cracks or chunking in the belts. Alternatively, have a professional inspect all hoses and belts.
9. Have your car’s brake system checked, especially if you've haven't had the system inspected in the last 12-14 months, its smart to have this performed.
10. Assemble a winter emergency kit for the trunk of your vehicle. This should be number one on the list because its the step that most of us ignore. It should include a blanket, extra boots and gloves, an ice scraper, windshield washer fluid, jumper cables, a first-aid kit, flares, a small snow shovel, a flashlight, kitty litter (for traction when stuck in snow) and bottled water.
