The East Coast is bracing for one of the most significant winter storms in years. With temperatures dropping and expectations of heavy snow, many car owners are asking: How often should I start my car to warm it up?
To prevent any mishaps during the winter season, drivers must check their engine coolant level, or antifreeze, according to Ruud.
Checking it frequently prevents engine freeze-up in winter and also protects against rust and corrosion year round. "Only check the coolant level when the engine is cold and not running," said Ruud."If the coolant is low, add to the lowest level marker and not any higher. If you’re unsure, visit a trusted repair facility and they can assist."Another tip is checking your battery and charging systems to make sure they're in good shape. During frigid temperatures, battery posts and cable connections with clean corrosion ensure a reliable start.
Drivers should also make sure they clean their headlights, replace old wiper blades and inspect their tires' tread depth and pressure for good visibility and traction. Precaution is key during snow days."Slow down and allow three times more space than usual between your car and the one ahead," said Ruud."Avoid using cruise control in slick conditions and avoid making unnecessary lane changes – which increase the chances of hitting patches of ice between lanes."
