It will not be long until Ohio drivers will have to deal with snow and ice on the roads. When the snow starts to fall, you will be happy you took the time to get your vehicle ready.
First you should have your antifreeze checked. A 50/50 balance between antifreeze and water will help it avoid freezing. Our service department at Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln in Greenville, OH can check your antifreeze and make sure it's good to go. Also, consider having your oil and transmission fluid changed and use winter-grade oil.
Check your windshield wipers for wear including tears or broken frames. Winter windshield wiper fluid is designed for the freezing temperatures and will not freeze on your windshield.
Before heading out in a storm or if there is a just a chance of a storm, prepare a winter kit that includes a flashlight, road flares, a blanket and a cell phone charger. A first aid kit is always a good idea as well.
Stay safe this winter. Contact our service department at Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln for an appointment.
