Ok, it's finally cold. Winter prep checklist...
My TPMS lights just came on.
My tires were at 28 psi. I topped off to 35 psi and the light is gone. Time to put your tire pressures to 35! I also noticed some loud rubbing on the door window glass. Cold is making the window snag on the weatherstrip. What is the accepted solution? For now, I applied a coat of lithium grease to the rubber weatherstripping. The rubbing noise is gone for now. I am going to jack up the car and spray some Fluid Film on most exposed nuts and bolts At some point down the road, working on a less rusty car will be appreciated. What else do you do for winter prep? |

Fluid film is effective.
Winter prep I do... I change to winter studded tires. Check my anti-freeze condition. Put a snow brush in the car. |

Ha! My winter prep is no more shorts, time for jeans. And a sweater.
Sorry California winter joke. But seriously early morning icy windshields are a slight pain.

For those who can't be bothered to read their owner's manual.
...or reply directly when being snarky.

Swap to winter tires. Quick visual inspection of suspension and brakes during the swap. Check all fluids. Done.
