How to care for your car in the winter

in #cars7 years ago

The winter period of time requires special care for your car, so in the cold season it is worth paying more attention to your car. In this article, we consider the main points that a motorist should pay attention to when operating a vehicle in winter in frosts.
One of the most sensitive to frost components is rubber, so first of all it is necessary to install winter tires on the car. They differ from all-weather and summer tread pattern and rubber composition. The tread pattern of winter tires is designed to strengthen the grip of the car with a snowy road and ice. And the composition of winter rubber is arranged so that it does not lose its elasticity in the strongest frosts. If you have to drive on icy and snowy roads, then be sure to use studded tires.
In severe frosts, as well as with large temperature changes, constantly monitor the tire pressure, as if the pressure in them rises or falls, the protector does not cope with its work. At the same time do not forget that it is better to check the tire pressure in a car workshop, since an amateur pressure gauge in winter cold can produce incorrect data.
In the winter season, use a multigrade engine oil of a more liquid consistency, which contains a marking of 15W. This index means that the oil does not lose its viscosity at a temperature of -15 degrees. In severe frosts up to -30 degrees, it is better to use a multigrade engine oil that contains a 5W or 0W marking and maintains its viscosity at very low temperatures. For frost, synthetic motor oils are best suited.

Automotive experts have defined the basic rules of car care in the winter. First of all, experts categorically recommend to abandon the winter washing. This leads to a rapid destruction of the car body.

Also, you can not leave the car on the handle for a long time in the winter, it can just freeze.

Also experts advise to use a low-temperature non-frost-proof, that in frosts the tank for a washer simply did not burst under the influence of ice.

And experts recommend in the winter to refuel the car under a stopper so that the freezing frost does not disable fuel lines.
