The Clarington Independent, Bowmanville, Saturday, December 10,1994 13 Have You Prepared Your Vehicle for Winter Driving? As the mercury drops below freezing, freezing, your car's starting ability also falls. Most problem vehicle owners face in winter can be avoided by two simple simple words: Preventative Maintenance. Here are some tips to ensure your car will both start and be dependable for you all winter long: Don't wait until January when garages have run out of block heaters. 1) . The single best thing you can do to pamper and almost guarantee it will start even on the coldest mornings mornings (remember last winter)? is to have an engine block heater installed. This will cost between $70 and $90 for most vehicles, less if you have it installed when buying a new car. Don't wait until January and the Garages Garages have run out of block heaters. Do it now, and when the temperature drops down to 18°C or below, plug it in for about 11/2-2 hours before you leave. 2) . Have the battery and complete charging system checked. Any battery battery more than three years old may be approaching the end of its life. 3) . Cooling system - Your anti freeze should be protected down to - 40°C, and should be changed every 2 years. Belts and hoses should also be checked; replace them every four years. 4) . Tune-up - Has your engine had a tune-up recently? Be sure your garage garage also checks emission controls. 5) . Oil - The oil and filter should be changed every 3-4 months or every 5000 - 6000 km., whichever comes first. 6) . Tires - Are they balanced and aligned? Do they still have tread life left? Do you check the air pressure every couple of weeks (including the spare)? Do you have a jack and know how to use it? 7) . Brakes - Should be checked by a licenced mechanic. 8) . Lights - are all the lights working? working? Are your headlights aligned properly? 9) . Windshield Wipers - Install winter blades; these will repel ice and snow better than summer blades. Keep some windshield washer fluid in the car. 10) . Gasoline - Drive on the top half of your tank: Do not let the fuel gauge get below 1/2. This, and the occasional use of gasoline antifreeze, antifreeze, will reduce the chance o'f condensation condensation forming in the fuel system. Now your vehicle is all set for winter driving!
