How To Prepare Your Vehicle For Winter In San Angelo, TX

Default

    Is Your Chevrolet Ready For Winter?

    With winter coming, driving to family holiday events becomes a necessity again. Even though San Angelo, TX commonly has mild winters, it is always a good practice to make a few winter checks to get ready for the changing weather. Completing these vehicle checks will ensure your Chevrolet runs at its best and helps you avoid getting stranded on the road.

      Complete An Auto Fluid Check For Winter

      • Examine your oil and oil levels. 
      • If it is low or if it's been 5,000 miles since your last oil change, consider changing your oil. 
      • Common winter multi-viscosity oils to use are 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30.
      • Check your anti-freeze levels. If you're refilling, seek to sustain a 50/50 ratio of water and antifreeze; this keeps the coolant from freezing.
      • Examine your car's windshield washer fluid. If it's low, refill it.

        Check Your Tires For Winter

        • Check your tires for uneven tread wear and optimal tire pressure. 
        • If any of the tires are low in air, refill appropriately and keep monitoring the tire to ensure you don't have a small air leak. 
        • In the event your Chevrolet vehicle has low tire tread, you should think about replacing your tires before winter.
        • All-season tires should suffice in San Angelo, TX.

          Test Car Battery Levels For Winter

          • If the battery is low, you can attempt charging it, but ensure the battery holds a charge. 
          • Check battery terminals for any corrosion. When there is corrosion around the terminals, clean them thoroughly.
          • Check battery fluid level. In case the fluid is low, you can add distilled water. 
          • Generally if the battery is more than 5 years old and shows signs of weakness, All American Chevrolet of San Angelo suggests replacing the battery with a new one.
