Still barely above 0 here today. Winter has arrived!

When the temperature drops, so does battery power. For gasoline and diesel engines, it takes more battery power to start your vehicle in cold weather. For electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, the driving range is reduced when the battery is cold, and battery systems work better after they warm up. Make sure your battery is up to the challenges of winter.
• Have your mechanic check your battery for sufficient voltage, amperage and reserve capacity.
• Have the charging system and belts inspected.
• Replace the battery or make necessary system repairs, including simple things like tightening the battery cable connections.
• Keep gasoline in a hybrid-electric vehicle, to support the gasoline engine.

Maintaining your tires during the winter is crucial. Rotate and balance your tires every other oil change; regularly check for uneven wear and try to keep them clean. Tires should be properly inflated, and the tread depth should be at least 4/32”.
