It is important for you to take care of your vehicle all year long. However, car care is even more critical during the winter. It is best for you to start preparing early. You will need to have your oil checked and changed. Cold climates have a tendency to make your oil thicker. The viscosity, or thickness, of the oil is one of the things that you should consider before buying oil. You can refer to the owner's manual if you aren't sure about the type of oil you should purchase during the winter.
You will also need to have the battery checked. The cold weather makes it a lot harder for the battery to operate. You may not know if your battery is weak unless you have it checked by a professional. Additionally, you should invest in snow tires. Snow tires allow your to have more grip in the ice and snow.
