Time to Winterize Your Car at North Penn MAZDA!

Winter can be a major problem for your vehicle if you don’t keep up with Mazda service tasks. By properly winterizing your car, you can protect it from the elements and safely adapt it for slippery roads. Here’s what North Penn Mazda recommends you do to winterize your vehicle so it’s ready for the season’s worst and sloppiest weather.

Tire Service

Your tires will naturally deflate in the cold winter air as the rubber contracts and air pressure changes in response to temperature. That’s why checking your vehicle’s tire pressure regularly during the winter is important. You’ll also want to check your tires for wear and tear, including worn treads and leaks. If a tire needs patching or replacement, it’s best to do so before icy winter storms affect the roads.

Oil and Engine Service

An oil change may be required for your model in order to properly lubricate your engine and keep it at the proper temperature. If you notice that your oil has lost its luster or is running low, you should schedule a service visit to replace it. We also recommend inspecting your engine compartment to look for damaged spark plugs or signs of overheating.

Battery Service

Your car’s battery can be dangerously affected by extreme temperatures, so it’s a good idea to check it for any corrosion in the terminals or leaking battery acid — both dangerous to your vehicle. Our team can also perform a load test to ensure your battery holds a proper charge.
