Proper winter care

As the 1st of January falls in the middle of winter, and also considering the snowy weather condition of Calgary, you have to protect your car with all the necessary gears. How?

You should ensure the antifreeze level and radiator, check out the tread depth and tire pressure from time to time, keep the gas tank filled up always and pour specially formulated “no-freeze” wiper mixture in the fluid tank. Besides, flush the cooling system after every few years to eliminate the dirt, dust particles and waste residues that are likely to clog the system.
