Tips on Preparing Your Jaguar for Winter

As the temperature drops and winter approaches, it's important to make sure your car is properly prepared for the colder months. You need to know, first of all, that most of the things you need to check are things that you should be regularly maintaining anyway, but it's always good to give your car a once-over before the winter hits. Here are some tips on preparing your car for winter:


Check Your Winter Tires

As the temperature drops, so does the air pressure in your tires. This can cause your tires to lose traction, making it more difficult to drive in snowy or icy conditions. To avoid this, make sure to check your tire pressure regularly and inflate your tires as needed. You also want to check the tread on your winter tires before using them for the season. This will ensure they are effective throughout the entire winter.


Inspect Your Battery

The winter weather can have an impact on your car's battery, causing it to lose its charge more quickly. To avoid getting stranded in the cold, make sure to inspect your battery and clean any corrosion off of the terminals.


Change Your Oil

While you might not need to change your oil as often in the winter, it's important to use a lighter weight oil to prevent your engine from freezing up. Check your owner's manual for specific recommendations on what type of oil to use in colder weather. Or, if you think you need help, you can always come see our team of experts at our service center.


Prepare an Emergency Kit

Having an emergency kit in your car is always a good idea, but it's especially important in the winter. Ensure your kit includes a first-aid kit, jumper cables, a flashlight, a blanket, and non-perishable snacks. That way, if you get stranded in the cold, you'll have everything you need to stay safe and comfortable until help arrives.


By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that your car is ready to take on whatever winter throws its way. From checking your tires and changing your oil to preparing an emergency kit, a little bit of preparation now can save you a lot of headaches (and money) down the road.
