Some like staying inside during the winter season. Enjoying a hot cup of cocoa and wrapping up in a blanket. Others like to dress warmly and go skiing, ice skating, sledding, or snow tubing. For winter travel, you need a vehicle that can get you around safely. The Michigan winter season tends to be extremely snowy and cold. Like how you'd put on a winter coat and snow boots, it's important to prepare your vehicle for the freezing temperatures. You can plan your winter auto maintenance at Williams Subaru near East Lansing.
Winter Preparation Tips for Subaru Models
If you own a Subaru, you're already ahead of the game when it comes to having a safe, winter-friendly vehicle. Many Subaru models come with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which means they exercise superior traction on slick road conditions around Dewitt. To equip your Subaru Forester for all of Michigan's snow and ice, invest in a set of snow tires. A factory-trained technician will install these tires in the Subaru service department near Haslett, MI. Here are other seasonal services to keep in mind:
- Changing the oil filter and replacing the motor oil.
- Testing the battery's strength and installing a new one.
- Inspecting the entire brake system (pads and rotors).
- Replacing the wiper blades and examining the windshield.
- Checking all the vehicle's exterior and interior lighting.
You should also store wintertime necessities in your trunk, like an ice scraper, extra pair of gloves, blankets, jumper cables, shovel, first-aid kit, and a flashlight. Being prepared is a big part of staying safe during the Michigan winter season.
