Check Your Oil and Fluid Levels
Your vehicle’s fluids are some of the most important parts of it, letting you enjoy many benefits. These fluids include transmission, brake, steering, coolant, and others. You’ll want to make sure these fluids are topped off and that their hoses are in good condition so you can drive without worry. We also recommend changing your oil at the start of fall for the best experience.
Create a Cold Weather Kit
Getting stranded in cold weather, especially when near winter or in winter itself, is not fun. You don’t want to be stranded and unprepared. As such, we recommend you bring the following items with you no matter where you go and especially on a long-distance trip:
- Gloves
- Ice Scrapper
- First Aid Kit
- Flashlight
- Jumper Cables
- Winter Clothes and a Blanket
- And More!
Check Your Tires
Finally, you should make sure your tires are ready for fall and winter. You can do this by making sure they’re in great condition, with good treads, inflation levels, and no notable damage. You should also rotate them prior to fall, so you can have even wear, and consider if you want to switch to winter tires.
