The winter weather will be here for a while, so now’s the time to prepare your Honda vehicle for the snowy season. Clinton Honda is here to help with expert Honda service! Get your car ready for winter with these three essential service tasks. more Check Wipers The ice and snow of winter can compromise visibility on the road, which is very dangerous. That’s why you need to make sure your windshield wipers are in good condition before the extreme weather arrives. Inspect them for cracking or degradation and seek replacements if you notice damage. You should also top off your wiper fluid with a solution that contains an antifreeze agent. Never use plain water in the winter! Monitor Tires Temperature drops in winter can cause steep pressure changes, so monitor tire pressure regularly throughout the season. Now is also an excellent time to switch to winter tires if you feel you need them. You should also measure tire tread depth to make sure it is above 2/32nds of an inch. Once it drops below that measurement, you need to seek replacements immediately. Schedule an Oil Change Experts recommend that you schedule an oil change at least once every six months, and early in the winter season is one of the best times to do this. Cold weather can cause oil to thicken and lose its lubricant properties, which might result in your engine struggling to turn over. If it’s been a while since you last had your oil changed, schedule an appointment at the Clinton Honda service center immediately.
