Your Royal Car Needs Special Care in Winters

Living beings need to take special care of their body during winters but have you ever realized that your prized possession, your beloved car we mean, too need special attention during this season. As you flaunt your premium vehicle for the world to see, do not forget to take care of this expensive piece of machinery so that it continues to perform optimally even in harsh winter.

How can winter affect your car?

Before donning your overalls to get your hand dirty, you should know how cold affects machinery. This will help you in focusing on those parts of the car that are more vulnerable to cold.

Juice up your car battery: Cold can have an adverse effect on your car battery. For a quick startup, the battery needs to be kept at 27 degree Celsius for optimum performance. In subzero temperature, there is a chance that the car battery might freeze.

Keep your engine protected from freezing: Cold climate can make your engine inoperable by freezing the engine oil.

Keep the windshield transparent: Cold climate can fog up the windshield that will make driving extremely difficult as you will face problems in locating the moving traffic in front as well as behind the car.
