Tips for the winter days a head: Under the hood is all about making sure your battery is strong enough to handle the cold, and fluids. Make sure oil, de-icer washer fluid and especially coolant, not just for hot summer driving, are all good. As far as the winter goes if you dont have enough coolant in there youre not going to get the heat that you need in your car. And either your car is not going to get hot enough to regulate or its going to get too hot, says Giaradina. Now its time to talk tires. If its cold enough to see your breath its time to change to winter tires or at a very minimum check your tread. If you dont have a tread gauge use a penny see how much of Lincolns head sticks out. So half the penny (showing) is good. More than half the penny is bad, Giaradina demonstrated. Now for the trunk. You should have an emergency roadside kit that includes jumper cables, extra gloves, blanket, flash light, and yes kitty litter. A good thing to have is kitty litter or any kind of sand to get you out of any situations where you get stuck. Put it underneath your tire and it will get you right out. And with that you and your car are a little more winter ready.
