Due to the low temperatures we are experiencing this winter, many vehicle owners will need to replace some parts and fluids. Nikita Rodionov, technical director of the international network of car service centers Fit Service, told the correspondent of socialbites.ca.
“It is better to change the cabin and air filters in your car at the beginning of March, as they become extremely clogged with dirt during the season. Also, after a winter at low temperatures, it is imperative to check and, even better, replace the main technical fluids: antifreeze, brake fluid and engine oil. Despite the mileage, the number of engine hours was higher this winter due to long warm-ups. Frequent idling of the engine has reduced the quality of the internal combustion engine oil,” said the automobile expert.
According to him, drivers should change their windshield wiper blades according to the season; They need to be renewed frequently after heavy use in winter. Seasonal services also include checking the condition of the windshield, the vehicle’s paintwork and removing minor chips and scratches. In winter, sand and reagents on the roads have a corrosive effect, causing significant damage to the glass and body of cars.
Before you start, you need to check the air conditioning system in the spring. Since air conditioning is not used in winter, it is difficult to evaluate its condition and performance. The expert noted that operating a system that is not filled with freon can cause the compressor and other elements to fail.
