Winter Driving Tips
8. Winterize your 4-wheel drive vehicle thoroughly!
- Check the antifreeze — flush and refill.
- Inspect the hoses — replace if weak.
- Replace any belts that are cracked or glazed over.
- Change to winter weight oil.
- Check gear oils and other fluids. Remove any moisture that has built up — it can freeze and cause problems.
- Check tire pressure (including spare).
- Check windshield washer fluid.
- Inspect the exhaust system for holes and leaks — exhaust fumes are doubly dangerous when windows are tightly closed!
