5 Best Car Maintenance Tips for Winter

Winter Car Maintenance Tips

While we rarely experience what most people would call winter on Oahu, we thought some readers would enjoy winter car maintenance care tips for their vehicle. If you live in the Honolulu area or are a military member stationed at JBPHH who’s looking to sell your used car for cash, give us a call today. Buying used cars for cash in Honolulu is what we do, however, we also enjoy providing news, information, and tips regarding new and used vehicles.

Make sure your car’s lights are working properly. During the winter months, it gets dark earlier, leaving many people to drive home from work in the dark. Make sure headlights and taillights are in good condition so you have plenty of illumination!

Check tire pressure. When the temperature of the air drops, so does tire pressure. When tire pressure’s too low, it can result in possible tread separation and faster wearing of tires – and it could also result in an accident. When temperatures drop 10 degrees or more, check the pressure and inflate to the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Don’t forget to check the antifreeze! The last thing you want is your engine to freeze, so make sure the coolant is filled to the proper level.

Make sure your heater and defroster are functioning properly. The heater keeps you warm and toasty during your commute, while the defroster clears the windows of ice or frost so you can clearly see to drive. Check the operation of both before cold temperatures set in.

While daytime temperatures in Hawaii rarely drop below 75 degrees regardless of the season, we know there are lots of states in the U.S. that experience frigid temperatures during winter. Hopefully, these tips will help keep you safe, and your car in good condition!

We’ve been used car buyers on Oahu for nearly a quarter of a century. If you’re in the Air Force, Army, or another arm of the military and are leaving the island, you may need to sell your used car fast. Fill out our online appraisal form or give us a call today!
