5 Car Care Tips for Spring

Spring is a wet season, meaning the roads are slippery, and accidents are common. It is vital to prepare your car for Spring and take care of it during it. The following are five care tips for Spring:

1) Clean It

Start by giving your car a spring cleaning. It may have been difficult to clean it properly during winter.

As the temperatures drop there will be plenty of filth to clean from your car. A clean car is easier to care for than a dirty one.

2) Change The Fluids

Your car will have utilized much of the fluids during winter so it is best to change them. Start by changing the oil and coolant to ensure no leakage.

Check other fluids, including brake, transmission, and wiper fluids. Keeping the fluids at optimal levels will help you drive better through Spring.

3) Address The Tires

If you hand winter tires on, retire them and use regular tires for Spring. Ensure the treads are deep and they are properly inflated.

Rotate the tires if you have been using the same ones during winter. If you require new tires, buy them as soon as possible.

4) Check The Battery

The cold of winter takes a toll on the battery. To properly take care of your car in Spring, check the battery.

Ensure that the battery has the correct fluids and that the nodes aren't corroded. If the car won't start, replace the battery.

5) Clean The Lights

The lights on a car need to be functioning optimally during Spring. There are still some long dark days, and visibility is essential.

You should deep clean the lights and replace the bulbs if necessary.
