Is your Mazda vehicle ready for the upcoming cold winter months? It may be time to schedule a Mazda service appointment with Sansone Mazda for a maintenance check. Regular vehicle maintenance is essential to prevent any issues that may arise from cold weather.
We have created a list of critical maintenance services to help get your car ready for the change in season.
Oil Change
Oil changes lubricate the engine’s moving parts and help keep it in optimal condition. Cold temperatures can affect the flow of your engine oil, making it thicker and more inefficient. Oil that is too thick can also put extra stress on your oil filter.
Getting oil changes in the winter will ensure your engine oil is at its peak viscosity, or thickness. Our certified service technicians can tell you the suitable viscosity of engine oil for your car based on its age, mileage, and the temperature in your region.
Checking the Tires
Tire pressure typically drops with colder temperatures. Getting your car’s tires inspected to ensure their tread is at a proper depth is critical to a safe winter drive, particularly when driving in icy or snowy conditions. You may even want to purchase a set of winter tires for the season.
Check the Battery
The car battery powers your Mazda vehicle. Colder temperatures may strain the battery, but frequent battery health tests will prevent you from getting stranded.
Change the Washer Fluid and Windshield Wiper
Visibility is essential when driving in the snow, rain, or ice. Older windshield wipers have the potential to break or tear with cold weather. If you’re dealing with frequent snowfall, you may want to invest in winter windshield wipers, which are designed specifically for extreme weather conditions.
Replacing the washer fluid with a cold-weather washer fluid will also ensure good visibility when driving in the rain and snow.
