Winter is almost over, here are five things I recommend doing

The most common work in repair shops in February and March, actually half of it can be prevented in advance. In these few weeks at the end of winter, I recommend checking these five items yourself: 1. Battery: Low temperatures are the killer of batteries. Old batteries that have survived the winter are most likely to suddenly die in the spring. For batteries over four years old, spend a few minutes doing a load test, so you don't get stuck one morning. 2. Chassis wash: For cars from snowy states, the de-icing salt is still on the chassis, and corrosion is faster when the temperature rises. Find a self-service car wash and use high-pressure water to rinse the chassis and wheel wells. 3. Wiper blades and washer fluid: Scraping ice in winter has worn out the rubber blades. Replace them before the rainy season, it's a twenty-dollar job. 4. Tire pressure and tread: Everyone inflated their tires in winter due to low temperatures. The tire pressure will be too high after warming up, adjust it again according to the door frame standard; while you're at it, use a quarter to check the tread depth. 5. Engine oil: In winter with many short trips and cold starts, there is more moisture and gasoline accumulated in the engine oil than in summer. If you are close to the mileage limit, don't delay, change it on time. It's all small money, but it's not worth it if it turns into a major repair. Ask any questions in the comments section.
