There is just over a month left before the start of the calendar winter.
However, it is possible that the weather will become truly wintery before December 1.
Therefore, car owners should hurry: they need to complete several important steps.
Before the onset of serious cold weather, the driver needs to replace some things in the vehicle.
Tires
Let's start with the most obvious step. Before the start of winter, every motorist is obliged to "change the tires" of his car.
A driver who does not change summer tires to winter tires in time may not only receive a fine, but also find himself in a very dangerous situation on the road.
Old battery
If your vehicle has an old battery, it should be replaced before winter begins.
After all, such a battery will most likely not cope well with its “duties” during the frosty period.
Don't take any chances: install a new battery in the fall.
Motor oil
When deciding whether to change engine oil, many drivers rely solely on the vehicle's mileage.
But you also need to take into account the time of year! Remember that in winter, the viscous liquid loses its properties approximately 2 times faster than in summer.
Old windshield wipers
In the fall, you need to check the condition of the windshield wipers.
If the device has already started to work poorly, then you shouldn’t leave it “for the winter”.
