Are Cars Afraid of Freezing in Winter?
1 Answers
Cars left outside in winter are definitely susceptible to freezing, with windshields often fogging up or frosting over, which can impair visibility. Here are some winter car care tips: Waxing: Applying wax in early winter is an excellent way to protect the car's paint. Wax forms a protective layer on the paint surface, reducing the likelihood of condensation and ice formation in winter. Changing Engine Oil: Lower viscosity grades of engine oil have better fluidity. In winter, when temperatures drop, oil of the same grade flows more slowly than in summer, potentially increasing wear on pistons and cylinder walls. Therefore, remember to switch to a lower viscosity grade oil in winter. Applying Anti-Fog Spray: Due to significant temperature differences between the inside and outside of the car in winter, windshields often fog up or frost over, impairing visibility and increasing the risk of accidents. Keeping a bottle of anti-fog spray handy and applying it evenly to the windshield after locking the car at night can make driving much easier the next morning.
