If you're one of many lucky car owners who own a Subaru, you probably love the vehicle and want it to last as long as possible. Although Subarus are known for lasting a very long time, providing them with good care and maintenance can add to their lifespans. This is especially true in the winter months around Rockville.
Winterize Your Subaru
Our team at Fitzgerald Subaru is always available to help you winterize your Subaru. Whether it's a matter of selling you automotive products, servicing your Subaru for you, or just offering winter care tips, we're near Washington DC to assist you. Following these tips can go a long way.
Oil Changes
Change the oil and filter. The purpose of the motor oil is to keep the engine lubricated, and the purpose of the oil filter is to prevent dirt and debris from getting to the engine. Be sure to have the oil and filter changed before winter in Silver Spring.
Tires
The tires should be good. The difference between good winter driving and impaired winter driving is often the result of tires. Make sure your tires have plenty of tread left and the right amount of air pressure. Check the air pressure regularly because cold temperatures around North Bethesda can affect air pressure. If your tires aren't the best, have them replaced and balanced.
Batteries
Check your battery. Winter temperatures can take a lot of charge out of your battery. Test your battery to make sure it's at full charge. If in doubt, replace the battery with a new one.
Windshields and Fluids
Windshields should be in good condition and clean. Visibility can be a real problem in the winter months, so make sure you have plenty of windshield washer fluid and your wipers are in good condition.
Check fluid levels. Your Subaru uses many fluids, including motor oil, transmission oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and antifreeze. Make sure your Subaru's fluid levels are full before traveling around Gaithersburg.
