What Needs to Be Replaced in Cars During Winter?

[Anna]

Cars require the following replacements during winter: 1. Engine oil - Winter demands higher lubrication standards for cars. If summer-grade oil is being used, it must be replaced. Any oil that has been used for an extended period, turned black, or lost its adhesive properties should be changed to ensure smooth engine starts; 2. Antifreeze - The quantity of antifreeze must be appropriate. Pay attention to the freezing point and model specifications for different regions and car types. Antifreeze used for over two years should be replaced; 3. Battery - Ensure the electrolyte level in the battery doesn't fall short, maintaining a level that submerges the plates by 10mm. Also, check the specific gravity of the electrolyte and maintain proper charge; 4. Brake fluid - Monitor the quantity and quality of brake fluid, topping up or replacing it as necessary; 5. Four-wheel alignment - Incorrect four-wheel alignment can significantly compromise safety; 6. Tires - During winter, rubber becomes harder and more brittle, reducing friction efficiency and making tires more prone to leaks and punctures compared to other seasons.
