Radiator Care and Battery Maintenance for Winter
Winter care for cars includes protecting radiators with proper covers to retain heat and prevent freezing. Avoid alcohol coolant mixes and follow the manufacturer’s winter oil grade guidance. Monitor storage batteries with a hydrometer, charge if low, and never run the car with no battery connected to the generator. Crank in short bursts to start, seek service for unusual signs, and preventive checks save costly repairs.
