Fluids
There are many types of fluids that are used in cars, but some are more important than others — especially your coolant, oil, and wiper fluid. Your coolant is critical in the winter months because it is what keeps the water in the cooling system from freezing during the cold temperatures we get here in Loveland. Coolant also helps to prevent rust from forming inside your engine. If your engine freezes, it can cause major damage and can even cause your car to stop working all together. Next, oil changes are a routine item that you need to make sure to check, especially right before winter weather and temperatures. An oil change right before winter can help ensure your car is running it’s best during the winter weather. It also can be beneficial to switch oil types depending on the depth of cold your car will be exposed to. If you need help making this decision or still want information on what type of oil is best for your car this winter, contact us today. Lastly, wiper fluid is important to help you keep your windshield clear so you can see the roads when conditions are bad. In the winter time, swap your normal wiper fluid for a freeze-resistant variety so your windshield wipers or the wiper fluid doesn’t freeze to the windshield. If your wipers or the fluid were to freeze on your windshield, you have created a more dangerous situation for you and others on the road.
