Before the onset of cold weather, the car owner should check and lubricate the rubber seals on the car body doors, check the density of antifreeze and brake fluid, and also eliminate body defects that appeared in the summer. Sergey Shabunin, chief inspector of the Veshnaki-Avto technical center, told socialbites.ca.
“Nowadays, you need to drain the water from the windshield washer reservoir and add antifreeze fluid, but many car owners forget to do this. It is necessary to pop the door locks and lubricate the rubber seals,” Shabunin noted.
According to him, if the antifreeze and brake fluid in the car have not been changed for a long time, their density must be checked with special tools at the service center. This will prevent water in the brake fluid, for example, from crystallizing and reducing the effectiveness of the brakes. The expert warned that antifreeze containing excess water could freeze in severe frosts and damage the radiator.
“After the summer season, scratches often appear on the underside of the car; before the onset of winter, it is useful to check it and cover the resulting defects with Movil or another anti-corrosion compound,” Shabunin said.
