How to Prepare Your Jeep® for Spring
Spring is almost here and the coming months are sure to bring new challenges for your Jeep® vehicle, so a trip to the Jeep service center at Waschke Family Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM may be in order. Between the melting snow and incoming rain, drivers may need to take extra steps to ensure their vehicle is ready to take on the months ahead. If you’re unsure where to start, try performing these three service tasks to prep your vehicle for the coming season.
Swap Your Tires
If you’re like the many other Minnesota drivers that utilize snow tires, swapping them back to standard road tires will provide more effective traction in the coming months. While you’re at it, it’s not a bad idea to have your new tires inspected and filled to the correct pressure. Hydroplaning will be a great concern due to the melting snow and incoming rain, so maintaining traction should be a driver’s top priority.
Change Your Oil
Not only does oil lubricate all of the moving parts underneath your vehicle’s hood, but it also plays the important role of removing dirt and debris from the engine’s components. Your vehicle can kick up a lot of salt and dirt over the winter months, leaving engine components, and by extension, the oil filled with particulate. To remedy this, be sure to change your vehicle’s oil as soon as possible.
Check Fluid Levels
Your vehicle needs the help of several different types of mechanical fluids apart from the oil to function safely. These include brake, transmission, and wiper fluids, each important in its unique way. Winter months can deplete the reservoirs of these fluids through the increased performance demands, so refilling them can ready your vehicle for the unique challenges spring weather brings.
