Get a Head Start on the Cold Weather

When it comes to avoiding ;unnecessary engine wear and damage, prevention is key. Take the ;time now to prepare your car for the colder weather with some easy to follow tips from Vipa Synthetics.

  • Where to Keep Your Car

    Whenever possible, keeping your car elevated in a dry environment is the best way to protect both the car's engine and its exterior. If you can't keep it inside, invest in a good quality car cover that protects the entire car body.
  • Get the Right Tools

    If your climate is prone to ice then you're likely no stranger to a ;frosted window. While it may be easy enough to throw a mug of hot water over your windshield to break the ice, this ;has the very real potential of cracking your windshield due to the rapid change in temperature.
  • Keep an Eye on Your Additive Levels

    When ;the temperature dips it can cause water through your radiator to freeze, causing problems with your ;engine as it starts. Look for a high quality antifreeze to prevent ice build up and give your ;radiator a fighting start.
  • Don't Neglect Your Regular Oil

    If you are using a conventional oil then it is likely the cold temperatures are causing it to lose its consistency. Consider taking the time now to switch to ;a high quality ;Amsoil Oil in Staten Island to protect your engine when the cold weather hits.
