As the days grow shorter and the weather starts to cool in Kennesaw, it's time to start thinking about preparing your vehicle for the change of seasons. Summer makes entirely different demands on your Subaru, and now that autumn and winter are approaching, your tire tread or battery strength might pose a performance problem in the colder temperatures and inclement weather.
What Type of Fall Maintenance Should Be Done?
- Oil and Filter Changes - You don't want your Subaru struggling to start on the first cold fall morning. If your oil is full of contaminants, it moves sluggishly. When paired with cold temperatures, your oil will struggle to lubricate the engine properly. A fresh oil change will protect your engine through fall and into the winter months.
- Tire Changes - If you still have summer tires on your vehicle, they'll have trouble providing the right kind of traction for the slick roads that come with increased precipitation and icy weather. You can switch to a dedicated winter tire now to be prepared with better traction until spring, or you can have a set of all-weather tires rotated to avoid uneven wear patterns that reduce their gripping ability.
- Multi-Point Inspection - An inspection is a timely maintenance task, as your technician can measure battery strength, top up windshield washer fluid, check your windshield wipers, inspect belts and hoses and take a look at your brake fluid and coolant levels to ensure they're adequate. Bringing your Subaru in for these essential fall preparation tasks will most likely keep your vehicle performing reliably right through until spring.
