Winter's right here. Although this season is a welcome departure from hot and humid climate, car owners would be little worried, because cold and frost can have a negative effect on your vehicle.

Let’s discuss these issues and look at how you can get your car ready to handle the temperature drop in the most efficient way. So let's start with our list of important winter car care tips that will help you prepare your car for the winter in the right way.

Warming Up Your Car

It's imperative that you warm up your vehicle during the winters before you start driving. 

Generally, heating up the car ensures that the engine oil present inside coats every nook and corner of the engine. As a result, once you start driving, the insides of the engine are well lubricated. This reduces the levels of damage in the engine. In the winters, engine oil begins to thicken. It will take some time before it flows freely to the different parts of the engine. In this case, it's always safer to let your car idle and warm up for 3-5 minutes before driving. This is a very powerful winter driving tip that will make your car run at an optimal level during this session.

Tyre Pressure

One of the most important things to take care of in cold weather is tyre pressure. Air operates through a very basic physical phenomenon ; as it gets hotter, it expands, and as it cools off, it contracts. Within tyre, these results are seen in terms of tire pressure. The tire pressure in your car increases during the hotter months and the tire pressure decreases during the colder months. Thus ,it is recommended that you conduct tyre pressure tests more regularly than you would usually do. Driving with low tyre pressure has a huge effect on driving. Therefore, be sure to drive at the correct prescribed pressure at all times.

Antifreeze/Coolant Level

You probably know about the presence of a green-colored coolant liquid. This liquid keeps your engine cool throughout the summer. The same coolant liquid used to cool the engine during the summers acts as antifreeze during the winters. When temperature decreases, the chemicals in this liquid ensures that the engine does not freeze and jam. Essentially, this fluid works around the clock to ensure that the temperature inside the engine is still controlled and optimized. Therefore, even in the winters, you must ensure that the amount of antifreeze in the engine is sufficient and up to the necessary level.

Headlights and Foglamps

During the formation of fog, visibility is the primary impact it has on your driving. That is why you must ensure that your lighting systems are in the best of condition. Rather than the headlamps of your vehicle, fog lamps play a more important role in piercing through the fog. Almost all cars now come with front fog lamps and rear fog lamps. However, if your car is older and stripped of fog lamps, opt for aftermarket lamps if you reside in the affected areas of the fog.
