The maintenance of the car in winter

Jan 26, 2025 Leave a message

 

When the seasons change from autumn to winter, the temperature will keep dropping. Besides making adequate preparations for the change of seasons for yourself and your family, your car also needs timely maintenance.

 

Here is a guide for changing seasons while driving. Please take it!

 

Check the tires to ensure a more confident journey


After the Frosting Day, the temperature will drop significantly. Due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction of tires, the tire pressure will decrease noticeably. Drivers should pay extra attention to the changes in tire pressure. It is recommended that the tire pressure range be maintained at 230-250 kpa. The specific tire pressure standards can be referred to the tire pressure stickers on the vehicle or the user manual, etc.


Friendly Reminder: The JCP-R66P jump starter with tire inflation is equipped with an air pump. It can quickly inflate the tires to the preset tire pressure and stop inflating automatically when it is full. Keep one in the car just in case!

 

Preheat the engine to warm up your car before setting off


In winter, the temperature is low, and the engine oil becomes thick and has poor fluidity. Starting the car without preheating can easily wear out the components. Before driving, the car needs to be preheated. Only when the engine reaches the working temperature can the car reach a more ideal state.


Friendly Reminder: It should be noted that the warm-up time in place heating mode should not exceed 3 minutes in winter. Because in a long idle state, gasoline combustion is insufficient, and carbon deposits are prone to form. After starting the car for one minute, you can slowly drive.

 

Driving in low temperatures, pay attention to battery depletion


In low-temperature environments, the battery is more likely to experience battery depletion and fail to start. When not driving, try to avoid parking in the open air for a long time. When parking for a long time, remember to start the car to charge once a month.


Friendly Reminder: It is recommended to keep a JCP-R66P jump starter with tire inflation in the car to prevent battery depletion and inability to start. The one-machine multi-purpose device is small and portable and does not take up space in the car. It can make driving more comfortable and secure.

 

Replace the antifreeze, not be afraid of freezing


In low-temperature weather, the coolant is prone to freeze. If the car-specific antifreeze is not replaced in time, it may cause damage to the radiator and the engine.


Friendly Reminder: To ensure the effect of the antifreeze, when adding new antifreeze, the old liquid should be completely drained. Antifreeze is generally colored and can be selected according to the specific model of the vehicle.
