Get Ford Winter Care!
Seasonal maintenance on your vehicle is smart. The colder it gets, the harder the moving parts within your vehicle have to work, so the service team at Boulevard Ford of Lewes has compiled our top five winter service tips. Have peace of mind by following our Ford winter driving protocol:
Examine Your Tires
It is essential to ensure your tires are in good shape for driving your Ford this winter. Look for excessive tread wear and cuts, and that your tire pressure is accurate. We suggest keeping a jack and spare tire handy and consider snow or all-season tires for greater grip.
Observe Your Brakes
How hard to you typically press on the brakes? This factors into their longevity, so practice coasting to slow down and replenish your brake fluid regularly. While driving your Ford this winter, listen for vibrations and noises and let our certified Ford technicians know of any alerts on your dashboard.
Test Your Heating Unit
To avoid chilly commutes, test out your heating unit today. Take note of any strange smells permeating from the vent or leaking on the passenger floor, as these are signs that your heating unit needs help. Book your Ford winter driving service today!
Prioritize Oil Changes
Oil changes lubricate the numerous moving parts of your engine. In general, oil changes are recommended every three months or 3,000 miles, but view your owner’s manual for your specific model. Replenish your oil today to prepare for driving your Ford in winter.
Check Fluid Levels
Hydration is key, not only for your engine and brakes, but is also essential to refresh your power steering fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and to replace the hoses that they travel through. Keep your model leak-free and hydrated this winter!
