We can expect a harsh winter in the Waukesha area, which is why now is the time to prepare. If you haven’t winterized your car, put this at the top of your to-do list. The Land Rover service center at Land Rover Waukesha has three maintenance tasks that are particularly important for getting your vehicle through the winter unscathed.
Oil Change
No matter the time of year, regular oil changes are essential. However, it takes on new importance in colder weather. This is because when temperatures drop, oil gets thicker, especially if it has been sitting in your tank for many months. Thick oil hurts an engine’s power, and it also means that your fuel efficiency will suffer.
Tire Inspection
For your tires to keep you safe, first they need to have deep treads. The deeper the treads, the more traction you will have, and you will certainly appreciate this on icy roads. Your tires also need to be at the correct air pressure level to enhance safety and boost fuel economy. Even if your tires are in great shape, you may still want to think about putting a winter set on for extra peace of mind.
Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement
Your windshield wipers have one job to do: clean your windshield to give you good visibility. If they are leaving large streaks or just not clearing your windshield, they need to be replaced. While you’re at it, be sure that you have enough wiper fluid. If it needs to be topped off, choose a type that won’t freeze on you.
