Top Ten Tips to Prepare Your Vehicle for Winter
- Battery and Terminal Check – Have your battery checked once a year, especially if it's more than two years old. A qualified technician will perform a quick load test to make sure it's in good shape to keep you on the road. Also, you should check your battery's terminals and cable connectors regularly. If you see corrosion, a simple mixture of baking soda and water will clean it off. In Michigan, faulty batteries and/or faulty terminal connections cause more car starting problem than any other factors.
- Radiator Check – Have your coolant strength and level checked by a certified technician. The recommended protection is for 36 below 0. The level, condition and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.) Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled!
- Oil & Fluids – Check engine oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid and transmission fluids and top off or change when necessary. Remember, it is best to keep your car's gas tank more than half full during those cold winter months.
- Belts & Hoses – Check belts and hoses for cracks, leaks and bulges as well as be sure all clamps are secure. The belts and hoses should fit tight and be firm, not too soft or brittle.
- Tires – It is recommended that your car be fitted with winter tires (also known as snow tires) to ensure the best grip to the snowy and icy roads. Winter tires are more soft and flexible than other tires and have tread patterns specifically designed for the winter conditions. Don't forget to have tire wear inspected and always have air pressure checked when tires are cold.
- Lights & Signals – Run through all signal and light functions to ensure they are active. Be sure to replace any bulbs that are not working properly so that your car remains visible in poor weather conditions.
- Windshield Washer & Wipers – Check wipers for wear and make sure the reservoir is filled with a non-freezing washer solvent during winter months. Twenty-four percent of all wiper blades checked before winter are found to be worn or damaged. Most blades need to be changed once every six to 12 months. It is best to upgrade to strong and durable winter wiper blades to help reduce ice and slush build up as you drive.
- Heater/Defroster – The heater and defroster must be in good working condition for passenger comfort and driver visibility. Check the front and rear defrost functions before the first freeze.
- Engine Performance – Get engine drivability problems (hard starts, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good repair shop because cold weather only makes existing problems worse. Replace any dirty filters including air, fuel, Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV), etc.
- Emergencies – Carry gloves, boots, blankets, flares, a first aid kit, a small shovel, sand or kitty litter, tire chains, a flashlight and a cell phone in your car at all times during the winter. Put a few "high-energy" snacks in your glove box just in case you become stranded for long periods of time. Never leave the house without being properly dressed in warm winter apparel even if you are just traveling down the block.
All of these tips are suggested to compliment your car's preexisting functions that make winter driving possible. Always be sure to prepare your car for the season's unpredictable weather to ensure the safety of you and all your passengers. If you need assistance performing any of the tests and winter adaptations as described see your local ASE certified technician.

Will my car make it 600 mi and back in June?
Hi! everyone and Thank You! for taking the time on reading my question. I am thinking about driving my 96 Impala SS to Southern California from Northern California (600mi) to save some money. I've driven there many times when my car was brand new. The last time I drove back and forth was when my car had 90-100,000 mi, now I have 145,000mi.
I used to change my oil every 3,000 mi using Castrol start up engine oil, but now just recently changed to Mobil 1 oil every 5,000 mi and won't be changing it until about 800 more mi. I also add chevron fuel injector cleaner at every oil change.The only major replacements Iv'e done to the car was change the transmission at 70,000 mi, changed the water pump once about 5 years ago, termostat 4-5 yrs., and last year the heater hose. I've changed the fan belt a couple of times but have been putting on belt dressing because it squeeks in the morning until it warms up. Now it has sticky gunk around the pulley and alternator.
Thank You!
you better off giving that thing a tune up along with flushing out all the fluids to be on the safe side, also if they have this product called Lucas oil stabilizer and/or fuel injector cleaner of that same brand try that. I know for a fact the oil stabilizer works as far as maintaining the oil in the engine and I use it all the time. the website is lucasoil.com for more info. Good luck and be safe out there and don't beat the Impala up too much
