The Automotive Information Council says winter emergencies last season were largely due to neglect. Cars now use extended oil change intervals, yet experts warn frequent checkups remain essential for reliability and safety.
Driving advice warns potholes can damage front end components and unseen undercarriage. Regular checks after summer and fall prevent costly winter failures. Radial tires become standard equipment and offer better tread than bias-ply though not equal to snow tires.
The article notes a surge in salt use in the snow belt, with final estimates likely to exceed 10 million tons after near totals in 1975. Calcium chloride is increasingly used, offering effectiveness as temperatures drop but causing greater metal corrosion than rock salt. Caution is advised for unpaved roads where calcium chloride is also used to suppress dust.
Zinc coatings remain a strong rust barrier as cars face more salt and chemicals. Manufacturers use thicker paint coats and waxes in hard to reach areas. Owners should wash all surfaces, especially the underbody, and carry touch up paint to seal chips.
Pre-winter checks cover anti-freeze, radiator hoses, and a full tune-up. Inspect hoses to avoid costly engine repairs from bursts and replace worn spark plugs, battery, and fluids. A timely tune-up helps starting and reliability when temps drop.
