Fall Car Care Month Checklist
Battery Check
Your car’s battery will have to work harder during the fall season, so it’s recommended that you have a battery inspection before fall arrives.
Tire Inspection
As the temperature drops, your tires’ air pressure levels will be more likely to lower. Make sure your tires have the right level of air pressure, and schedule a tire inspection to ensure your tires have the right level of tread depth.
Heater/Defrost Check
Your heater will need to be working properly to keep you warm during the colder fall months. Your defrost system will also need to be working so you can maintain your vision if your windshield frosts over.
Oil Change
Oil can thicken during colder temperatures, so you’ll want to check your oil more often than usual during the fall season and get an oil change if necessary.
Brake Inspection
Make sure your brakes are working properly so that you can come to a complete stop and have more control on the roads of Collins during the fall season. To make sure your brakes are in working order, have an inspection of your brake discs, brake pads, brake fluid, and other brake components.
Emergency Kit
If your car ever breaks down and gets stuck on the side of the road, make sure you have an emergency kit prepared. You’ll want to pack items like a blanket, food, jumper cables, batteries, a first aid kit, and a shovel.
Fall Maintenance FAQs
How often should you change your oil during the fall season?
Usually, you’ll want to have your vehicle’s oil changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, but you should check your owner’s manual for a more specific number since the recommendation is different for every vehicle. During the fall season, it’s recommended that you should check your car’s oil level once or twice a month.
How long should I let my car warm up before driving it during the fall season?
You only need to let your car warm up for about one to two minutes after starting the engine. As you drive it around Sumrall, the engine will warm up quickly.
Are CDJR vehicles good for driving in the fall weather?
