Cold weather is here and it won’t be denied!  As with many things the Winter brings special considerations to your automobile.  Don’t fret, there are a few easy steps that you can take to head off most car issues associated with the cold weather.

For instance:  Are you wondering if your tire tread is still “good enough” to get your through the slick winter driving safely?  An easy way to check is to take a Lincoln-head penny and insert it head first into the most worn part of your tire tread. If you can see Abe’s head, he may be telling you to get a new set of tires.

Will your outside car get its engine frozen on these frigid nights?  When the white stuff hits, make sure you have plenty of the green stuff — antifreeze. Antifreeze can be one of the trickiest parts of your winterizing routine because, even though it has a strong green color, the additives could be worn out.  A good rule of them is to replace it every 40,000 miles with a radiator “flush and fill”.
