As the weather warms up, it is good to pay attention to your vehicle and ensure any inefficiencies brought by the cold weather are taken care of. Your friends at Upstate Auto in Saranac Lake, NY have some tips you can use.
If you were using winter tires, it’s now a good time to shift to regular tires. Also, ensure your tires have the right pressure, as low pressure affects fuel efficiency and causes the tires to wear out more. If your engine oil change is due, consider replacing the oil to keep the engine running efficiently.
The wiper blades may take a beating during winter, hence it’s important to inspect them to ensure they will enable you to drive in spring showers. Remember to refill any fluids whose level is insufficient. These fluids include transmission, steering, windshield washer, brake, and coolant. Replace any worn-out belts and hoses that may have been damaged by cold weather.
