What to Do When the Car Won't Start in Winter?

[AlexLynn]

Solutions for a car that won't start in winter include: 1. Switch to engine oil with better fluidity during winter; promptly and effectively recharge the battery; replace spark plugs in time; clean the fuel system and replace the fuel filter every 40,000 kilometers, etc. 2. The issue of a car not starting in winter is often related to the viscosity of the engine oil. In northern cities, using 5W or 10W oil may significantly reduce the chances of the vehicle starting normally. Car owners should understand the specifications of engine oil. The smaller the number before the 'W,' the better the oil's fluidity in winter. Therefore, it's advisable to switch to oil with better fluidity before winter. Although it may be more expensive, it's worth it to ensure the car starts smoothly in cold weather. 3. Apart from oil issues, another common reason for starting difficulties is battery problems. Due to extremely low temperatures in northern winters, the battery's capacity may drop because of the cold environment. This can lead to reduced activity inside the battery, resulting in insufficient voltage to start the car, thus causing starting difficulties.
