Is it okay for a car to be left outside in winter?

It's definitely better to park in a parking lot, but leaving it outside doesn't have much impact. Other winter car care tips: Check if the engine oil is sufficient. Engine oil plays a significant role in the normal operation of a car in winter. Before winter arrives, make sure to carefully check if the oil level is within the normal range on the dipstick. Also, see if your car needs an oil change, which can be done based on the mileage specified in the maintenance manual. Warming up the car: When driving in winter, it's not necessary to warm up the car while stationary. Instead, let the car warm up by driving slowly without accelerating. This is because engine oil becomes more viscous in winter and circulates more slowly. Warming up the car ensures that the oil and antifreeze are properly circulated, reducing wear and tear on the vehicle.
