"Winter is the enemy of the car. Cold temperatures make it harder for an engine to work properly. Snow and ice limit traction. Potholes damage wheels and tires. Salt causes rust and gravel pits the paint. But there are things you can do to help your vehicle in this time of duress. Following are some easy steps to properly prepare your car for winter. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Consider using snow tires.

Check your tire pressure.

If you have a four-wheel-drive system, make sure it is working properly.

Check to see if your engine requires lower-viscosity oil in the winter.

Inspect the belts and hoses.

Inspect the wipers and wiper fluid.

Check the battery.

Check antifreeze mixture."
