Why Winter Preparation Matters

Wisconsin winters can be brutal, with temperatures often dipping below freezing. Cold weather can take a toll on your vehicle, leading to issues like engine failure, poor fuel efficiency, and decreased safety on the road. Following a meticulous vehicle maintenance checklist ensures your vehicle remains reliable and efficient throughout the winter. Here’s how AMSOIL products can help you prepare for the season.

Check and Change Your Oil

One of the most crucial tasks on your Vehicle Maintenance Checklist is ensuring your engine oil is up to par. AMSOIL synthetic oils are designed to perform in extreme temperatures, offering superior protection and performance compared to conventional oils. It's imperative to have oil that flows easily at low temperatures in winter.

Star Product: AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil

This oil provides excellent cold-weather performance and helps prevent engine wear during those frigid starts. If you haven’t changed your oil recently, now is the perfect time to do so.

Task Checklist

  • Check oil level and condition.
  • Change to AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-20 (or appropriate grade).
  • Replace the oil filter.

Inspect Your Battery

Cold weather can brutally affect your vehicle's battery. The chemical reactions that generate power in a battery slow down in the cold, which can lead to starting issues. As part of your vehicle maintenance checklist, inspect your battery to ensure it's in good condition.

Task Checklist

  • Inspect battery terminals for corrosion.
  • Clean terminals.
  • Test the battery voltage and consider replacing it if it's weak.

Check Your Tires

Proper tire maintenance is crucial for safety during winter driving. Cold temperatures can reduce tire pressure, affecting handling and fuel efficiency. Make sure to include tire checks on your Vehicle Maintenance Checklist.

Prepare Your Wiper Blades

Visibility is critical during snowy and icy conditions, making effective wiper blades a must-have. Worn-out wiper blades can lead to reduced visibility, which increases the risk of accidents.

Task Checklist

  • Inspect wiper blades for wear and tear.
  • Replace any damaged blades with new ones.
  • Fill the windshield washer reservoir with your favorite washer fluid and give some deserved TLC to this area.

Protect Your Fuel System

Keeping your fuel system clean is vital, especially when temperatures drop. Condensation can build up in the fuel tank, leading to issues such as fuel line freeze and reduced efficiency.

Star Product: AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver

This fuel additive helps clean injectors and maintain optimal performance.

Task Checklist

  • Add AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver to your fuel tank to clean and protect the system.
  • Ensure your fuel tank is filled to prevent condensation build-up.

Check Your Cooling System

Even in winter, your engine can overheat if the cooling system malfunctions. Check your coolant levels and ensure your antifreeze is adequate to the expected lowest temperatures.

Star Product: AMSOIL Antifreeze and Coolant

This product protects against freezing and boiling, making it ideal for Wisconsin winters.

Task Checklist

  • Inspect the coolant level and top off with AMSOIL Antifreeze and Coolant if necessary.
  • Check hoses for leaks or wear.
