IS YOUR CAR WINTER- READY? 3 Surprising Things to Check During Fall Car Care Month October is Fall Car Care Month, and the best way to celebrate it is by getting your vehicle ready for winter. Kentucky’s icy roads and snowstorms can get dangerous! To protect your family now, follow the advice of the Car Care Council and check these three things. 1. Your gas tank. Did you know that during the winter, experts recommend keeping your gas tank at least half full at all times? Keeping a large amount of gas in reserve can stop moisture from forming and freezing in your gas lines. If this happens, you might not be able to start your car, or your engine might sputter or stall. 2. Your exhaust system. To check this, we recommend taking your car to a professional for an exhaust inspection. They’ll be able to spot dangerous carbon monoxide leaks that could give you carbon monoxide poisoning and potentially make you pass out behind the wheel. These leaks are serious year-round, but during the winter when you keep your windows rolled up, they’re more likely to cause dangerous symptoms. If you’re really worried about carbon monoxide leaks, buy a battery-operated detector for your car. You can get one on Amazon for around $20. If it ever goes off, have your car towed to the shop for an inspection and pay a visit to your doctor. 3. Your wiper fluid. Most people don’t realize it, but you can swap your ordinary wiper fluid for cold-weather fluid for the winter. It’s wise to check your wipers at the same time, because the last thing you want to deal with is a wiper blade breaking during a snow or rainstorm. Consider replacing your blades if they’re more than six months old and swapping them for winter wipers. (Yes, there are winter wipers — think of them as snow tires for your windshield.)
