Winter is nearly upon us now, and you want to ensure that your vehicle is ready for the weather ahead. Winter weather and temperatures cause stress on your vehicle and it's important that you address the areas susceptible to damage. At Lexus of Warwick, we know what winter weather looks like in our area. We also know Lexus vehicles like yours inside and out. That's why we're going to provide you with some winter service tips to keep in mind and address this fall.
Change Your Oil
When it gets cold, your motor oil flows slower than usual. If your motor oil is already dirty, it increases this issue. Your motor oil is responsible for keeping your engine clean by collecting dirt and debris and filtering it out. If it isn't flowing correctly, it can decrease performance and efficiency. Your Lexus vehicle is built for performance, and you want to keep your engine in like-new condition. That's why changing your oil before it gets cold is so important to the overall health of your vehicle.
Check Your Lights
Winter in Warwick means that you'll be driving in the dark more. It tends to get dark much earlier in the winter months, so you want to make sure that you can see. That's why it's important to check your lights and change them if any aren't working correctly.
Flush and Fill Coolant
Your coolant is responsible for preventing your engine from freezing in cold temperatures. If your coolant is dirty or low, it can't do its job correctly. That's why it's crucial to flush out the old, dirty fluid and replace it with fresh coolant.
