Are Cars Afraid of Freezing in Winter?
1 Answers
Cars parked outside in winter are definitely susceptible to freezing. Frost and ice will form on the windshield, obstructing visibility. Winter car care tips: 1. 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 frost and ice buildup. 2. Changing engine oil: Lower viscosity grades of engine oil have better fluidity. In winter, the low temperatures cause the same grade of oil to flow more slowly than in summer, potentially increasing wear on pistons and cylinders. Therefore, remember to switch to a lower viscosity grade oil in winter. 3. Using anti-fog spray: Due to the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car in winter, fog and frost can form on the windshield, impairing visibility and increasing the risk of accidents. Keeping a bottle of anti-fog spray handy and applying it evenly to the windshield before locking the car at night will make driving easier the next morning.
