weather isn't always kind to a car or truck. Owners should take steps to protect their vehicles from harm when winter arrives. Little things such as not cleaning snow off the body could lead to surprising problems over time. Salt could corrode the paint. And there are other issues of concern.
Check your battery with a volt test device. Better yet, let a professional do it. Cold weather can kill a battery even when it has a good charge. Find out if your battery needs replacing long before the thermostat shows frigid weather.
Coolants protect the engine from suffering from irreparable damage. If the levels are low from a leak or another problem, the engine could overheat. Old coolant isn't reliable either. Maybe getting coolant flushed and replaced should be a top priority. So is checking the heater and wiper blades.
Don't feel stuck when it comes to winter care or regular maintenance. The service department at Lithia Nissan of Eugene might be of assistance.
