Are you ready for winter?

Here some survival tips
​1st start with a general inspection, with a reliable certified garage and a mechanic 
you can trust.
-Tune-Ups List: 
1. Replace your oil & oil filter > Oil is the life of your engine.  The cold weather 
makes your oil thicker, which increased strain on your engine when starting. With 
the new oil, making it easier for your engine to start. Old oil gets thicker when 
cold, making it harder for your engine to start.
2. Air filter > Make sure your air filter is clean. A dirty air filter will lower 
mileage and performance.
3. Check your battery > If your battery is older, have it checked. Be sure 
connections are clean and tight and no corrosion. The cold winter weather tends 
to drain batteries, your engine requires a fully charged battery to start when cold.
4. Replace your wiper blades > To make sure your wipers are in good condition, 
replace them if necessary with winter wiper blades. Keep your windshield-washer 
reservoir full, with a blend -40°C that won’t freeze in the cold of winter.
5. Check your heating system > To ensure your windshield can give you clear vision 
of the road around you. Have your mechanic inspect your defrosters and heaters for 
proper functioning.
6. Winter tires > Improve your car’s traction, invest in winter tires. A good winter 
tires maintain your vehicle’s ability to perform in winter snow and bitter cold. As 
the weather gets colder, tire pressure decreases, so make sure your tires are 
properly inflated.
7. Emergency kit > Pack a winter emergency kit. 
   -Battery jumper cables                                 -Portable shovel
   -Snow brush with windshield scraper  -Flashlight and flares
   -Tool kit                                                                   -Small heating packs/cans
   -Extra hat and warm clothes                      -Blanket
   -Emergency snacks                                          -Lighter/matches
   -First aid kit                                                          -Wheel wrench and jack
   -Make sure spare tire is inflated
It may seem to much to have, but! like uncle Bob said. "It's better to be ready 
than sorry"
