As the weather is getting colder and colder, cars should be well maintained in winter. How to make your car go through the winter smoothly? What should be paid attention to when traveling in winter? Next, let's take a look at the precautions for car maintenance in winter!

01 heating system

Whether the heating system can work normally is undoubtedly very important in winter. Although the heating system has a simpler structure than the air conditioning system, it will fail after being out of service for a summer. So before the beginning of winter, try the heating system without hot air, whether the fan is running abnormally, and whether the air duct is unobstructed. Sometimes the antifreeze in the heating pipe does not flow for a long time, and the condensing blocks the circulation pipeline. Although it does not affect the driving, the maintenance is very troublesome. If there is a problem, you must go to the 4S shop or repair shop to repair it in time.

02 hot car

When the weather drops sharply in winter, the correct way to warm up the car should be to keep on the road 30 seconds to one minute after the start and keep the car at a low speed. The engine speed is limited to no more than 3000~3500 revolutions, and it is generally maintained at 2000 revolutions. Otherwise, the intense wear and tear of the engine and gearbox cannot be recovered. After the engine temperature rises to the normal operating temperature (it takes about 3 to 5 minutes), then resume normal driving.

                                                                                                                              03Check tires and brakes

In winter, the temperature is low and the tires expand and contract with heat, so you should always check whether the tire pressure is normal. In addition, snow tires should be replaced in time or anti-skid measures should be prepared when traveling in snow, and the brakes should be checked in time after passing through snow-covered roads.

04 Check the antifreeze

In the cold winter, it is important to replace the antifreeze. If you find that the antifreeze in the car is obviously insufficient, do not add water directly, as this will reduce the freezing point of the antifreeze and affect the use effect. In addition, do not mix and match different brands of antifreeze, because all kinds of antifreeze have different freezing points due to their different proportions and ingredients during preparation, and they need to be selected according to the temperature conditions. It is recommended that the long-life cooling oil of Mengshi has a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point. It can be used across the four seasons. It can be replaced with smart equipment to make the replacement more thorough and cleaner!

In winter, the temperature drops sharply, Mengshi Lubricant reminds you to pay attention to strengthening car safety maintenance, check the car condition before traveling, and pay attention to travel safety!
