Preparing Your Vehicle for the Spring
Spring is in the air and we are all ready for warmer weather. Keeping this in mind, it is important to note that there are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed in order to get your car ready for spring. Spring brings rain and it also brings temperature changes.
What Should I Do to Prepare for Spring?
The first thing you need to do to get ready for spring is to change your oil. During the winter months, you may have changed your oil over to a heavier oil to help protect your engine. Changing the oil helps to get the engine ready for warmer weather and for the potential that you may be driving more.
You should also get filters changed and make sure that you have a good set of windshield wipers that are going to be able to handle the sudden spring rains. You also want to be sure that any coolant or fluids that were changed over to winter blends are changed back to your typical blend. If you have had special tires put on for winter, you want to swap them back to your normal tires and you also want to be sure that you check your brakes and any other system that might have gotten a bit of use during the winter months.
Other Recommended Spring Maintenance Services
You do need to do a few things to help make sure that your car is ready for spring. Your fluids do need to be changed back to a normal fluid blend if you changed them over to winter blends before the winter. You are going to need to have your normal blends of fluids to compensate for the warmer weather. Similarly, if you are going to be driving more during the spring and summer you are also going to need to make sure you have an oil change so that you can compensate for the added driving. You also do need new wiper blades. If the wipers have been out in the very cold temperatures they may start cracking and getting old.
