Experiences of car maintenance in the winter
Tire care
In conditions of low temperatures, all materials tend to shrink, including car tires. At that time, the friction between the tire and the road surface will decrease, which makes it easier for the wheels to slip and makes it harder for the driver to control the car than usual.
To solve this problem, you should deflate the tire to increase the contact area of the tire with the road surface. If the tire is too worn, you need to replace it. In addition, car owners need to regularly keep the correct tire pressure to make traveling on the road safer. How to know the tire pressure is not standard as follows:
Check the battery

Whether your car is powered by a petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric motor, lower temperatures mean more work on the battery. Every vehicle you use has a 12V battery to ensure that critical electrical systems run smoothly, so it's important to check battery health.

Choosing the right engine oil

When the temperature is too low, the engine oil will become denser, making it difficult to start the car, because the parts that need to be lubricated have not received the necessary amount of oil. To make the car easier to start in the cold season, users need to choose a low-concentration engine oil.

Antifreeze solution

Antifreeze prevents the engine coolant from freezing. Therefore, car owners need to make sure this mixture is mixed in the right proportions – otherwise the radiator or water pump can freeze and cause significant damage.
