When you schedule regular Chevrolet service, you help to keep your vehicle driving smoothly and efficiently, and reduce the need for costly repairs and part replacements. Service is even more important when the seasons change and the risk for extreme driving conditions and inclement weather increases. Learn about the service tasks you’ll want to schedule this fall for safer winter driving when you visit Joe Lunghamer Chevrolet.
Oil Change
Engine oil lubricates moving components, helps control engine temperature, and carries internal contaminants to the oil filter. Over time, heat and contamination degrade the oil, reducing its ability to protect the engine. Before winter, check your vehicle’s Oil Life Monitoring System and schedule an oil and filter change if service is due. Fresh, properly specified oil can help protect the engine during your cold-weather adventures.
Battery Inspection
Your battery is responsible for running essential accessories like the headlights and for turning your vehicle on. While most batteries have a lifespan of three to five years, extreme cold can significantly drop battery capacity, up to 50% when temperatures hit 0°F. To reduce the risk of getting caught in the cold without power, get your battery inspected at the start of the chilly weather.
Tire Service
Your tires are your first line of support on the open road, and tire health is especially important when conditions are icy or slick. You may decide to make the swap to winter tires now, for added traction. If you’re keeping all-season tires, check both the tread and pressure, which can fluctuate as the temperatures drop.
