How to Maintain Engine Health During the Winter Season
How to Maintain Engine Health During the Winter Season
Posted on January 22, 2025
As winter settles in, your vehicle faces a tougher challenge from the cold, icy roads, and unpredictable weather. At Barrie Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we know how important it is to ensure your vehicle is prepared for the colder months. Winter can bring a lot of stress to drivers, but with proper care, your engine can handle the demands of winter driving with ease.
Why Winter Maintenance Matters
In cold weather, your engine needs to work harder to maintain performance. Reduced temperatures can cause fluids to thicken and battery performance to drop, putting additional strain on your vehicle. That’s why having a winter-ready engine is essential for reliable driving. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes, fluid checks, and tire inspections, will ensure that your vehicle is ready to handle whatever winter throws at it.
Winter Engine Care: What to Focus On
- Full Synthetic Oil: Winter can make oil thicker, making it harder for your engine to run smoothly. Full synthetic oil provides superior protection against cold starts, ensuring your engine starts easily even on the coldest mornings.
- Battery Check: Cold temperatures can affect battery performance. A battery test ensures it is strong enough to start your engine reliably throughout the season.
- Tire Maintenance: Cold weather can reduce tire pressure, affecting traction and safety. Keeping your tires properly inflated ensures optimal grip and handling on slippery roads.
- Coolant and Fluids: Antifreeze is a must during winter to prevent the engine from freezing. A fluid check also ensures all your systems remain well-lubricated, preventing overheating in harsh weather.
