Snow is already falling in some parts of the country and it will not be long until Michigan gets its turn. Making preparations to your vehicle to handle extreme cold, snow and ice will ensure that the car starts and that you stay safe.
It is important to have your oil changed to keep it from thickening up from debris, to change your windshield washer blades and fluid, and to have your antifreeze checked. Another important and often overlooked items is your battery.
Freezing temperatures are hard on batteries. Cold temperatures require your engine to use more battery current to start. Being outside when its freezing is bad enough but when your car won't start and you're stranded, things can quickly go from frustrating to dangerous.
The best way to check your battery is to have your service department check the voltage. They can also check the cables for cracks and brakes. Don't forget to check the battery fluid as well.
