Winter Auto Maintenance Checklist

These winter maintenance jobs will keep you and your car out of trouble.


Check your antifreeze: Your antifreeze is an essential part of your car's winter protection. Your car contains a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze. Make sure the level is full and the mixture is close to 50/50.

Inspect your tires: Winter is not the time to get cheap about your tires, so take the time to check the tread depth. Also, be sure to check your tire pressure. Believe it or not, they lose a little pressure when it gets cold, so pump 'em up.

Replace your wipers: Fog, snow and rain will cut down your visibility in winter. Make sure wipers are in top shape to keep your windshield clean and safe.

Inspect your brakes: Brakes are not a good area to cut corners. Be sure your brakes have enough meat left to get you through the season.

Check your battery: Winter puts more stress on your battery, particularly if you park your car outdoors.

Cold weather safety should be a concern for anybody living in a cold climate. These tips will give you the upper hand when Old Man Winter tries to put a chill on your winter travels.

Are You Prepared for a Flat Tire?

Step 1: Pull off the road on a completely flat area and place the car in park. Turn off your engine and switch on your hazard lights to warn other drivers of your situation.

Step 2: Place a large rock or a sturdy, heavy object behind the tires if you’re facing slightly uphill or in front of the tires if you’re facing slightly downhill. Next, you will need your spare tire, a car jack, and a tire iron.

Step 3: Remove the hubcap using the wedge on your tire iron. Loosen the lug nuts by turning the tire iron counterclockwise. Don’t remove the lug nuts yet! Simply loosen them in a star-patterned order - Loosen one and then move diagonally to the next one and so on.

Step 4: Jack up the car. Many cars have a particular spot on the frame for placing the jack. You may need to consult your owner’s manual to find this spot. The new, fully inflated tire will be slightly bigger than the flat one, so jack up the car high enough to take this into account.

Step 5: Completely remove the lug nuts and place them aside being sure not to lose them. If you have a hubcap, place them inside the upside-down hubcap.

Step 6: Carefully remove the flat tire. Place the new tire onto the wheel with the air valves facing out.

Step 7: Replace the lug nuts in the same “star” pattern that you used to loosen them. Do not tighten them completely.

Step 8: Lower and remove the jack from the car, then finish tightening the lug nuts.

Step 9: Replace the hubcap, if necessary. That’s it! You just learned how to change a tire! From driversedguru.com
