Winterizing Your Vehicle

Winter in New England wrecks havoc on vehicles, with snow, ice, freezing temperatures and maniac drivers.

I winterized my car the other day to make sure she's ready for the season, I suggest you do the same!
  1. Make sure all your fluids are topped off: oil, coolant, power steering, brakes and windshield-washer
  2. Check your tire pressure to make sure it's ideal, higher the pressure, better traction in snow
  3. Put some HEET (anti-freeze and water-remover) and fuel-injector cleaner in your tank
  4. Silicone-spray all rubber seals (doors, trunk and hood) as well as your power antenna so they don't freeze and cause damage
  5. Put new wipers on, preferably winter ones that have a rubber cover on the metal
  6. De-ice and lube door and trunk locks
  7. Check all the bulbs so your not getting pulled over for something stupid!
  8. Put a blanket in your car, just-in-case
  9. And the big one, put snow tires on!

  2. Today while I was browsing on the Internet I came across this site PowerEnhancer.com which deals with various lubricants of BG, Millers, Johnson’s, etc that can be used for your automobile. These helps in increasing the performance of your automobile and also improves the mileage. Some of the products – lubricants are used to clean the fuel injectors of diesel and petrol engines.
