Paop 2R. Winter Car Care Suanlement
Check trouble spots
By Bob Balmer
Of the Emerald
Cold mornings and torrents of
rain are typical winter weather
patterns in Oregon. And as peo
ple need external protection
from these elements, so do the
internal workings of
automobiles.
A service adviser for a local
garage encourages motorists to
have a variety of checks per
formed on their cars and trucks
before winter weather sets in.
John Petty of Sears Auto
Center lists four automotive
trouble spots that should be
checked before winter: the cool
ing system, the tires, the battery
and the exhaust system.
To winterize water-cooled
vehicles, use antifreeze to keep
the engine block from cracking
during freezing weather.
Petty says a visual check can
help determine whether an
tifreeze must be added to the
radiator. If the radiator fluid is
clear, antifreeze is needed, he
says. And if there are metal
flecks in the water or the water
appears dirty, the radiator must
be flushed before antifreeze is
added, he says.
Petty does not recommend
studded or snow tires for w’inter
driving. “Your best bet. dollar
for dollar, is an all-season radial
tire,” he explains. ‘‘That way
you don’t need to invest in two
sets of tires.”
Of course, chains are essen
tial for mountain traveling.
To check the battery, only
two steps are needed. First,
check the water level in the
cells and add water if needed;
second, clean the cables and the
terminals, wiping off all corrod
ed areas.
Petty says most people don't
worry about the exhaust system
when weatheri/.ing their cars,
even though the exhaust might
be the most important thing to
check.
He suggests looking for
smoke coming out from the
muffler, which is a sign of
possible exhaust leaks near the
front of the car. During winter
months people drive with their
windows up and their heaters
oil. making exhaust leaks more
dangerous than in the summer
time. Petty says.
Finally, he says, check all
hoses. Extreme temperature
shifts cause the hoses to crack
and the clamps to loosen.
Tighten all loose clamps and
replace any worn hoses, he
warns.
Prepare with proper equipment
Like a medicine cabinet, the trunk of every car should be well
stocked, containing as many items for routine maintenance and
emergencies as cost and space permit. Terry White, manager of
Eugene True Value Hardware, says that following items are par
ticularly useful during the winter season:
✓ Extra light bulbs and fuses; jumper cables.
✓ Screwdriver, crescent wrench and pliers.
✓ A flashlight and three flares.
✓ Tire chains.
✓ A heavy-duty ice scraper and a spray can of de-icing fluid.
✓ Jugs of water and antifreeze; a bottle of window-washing
solvent.
✓ Empty gas can; extra cans of motor oil. transmission and
brake fluids.
✓ Duct and electrical tape; baling wire.
✓ A basic first-aid kit; a small fire extinguisher.
✓ Sleeping bag and/or thermal blanket.
✓Gloves, a tarp and a few rags.
✓ A pad and pencil; road maps; the vehicle owner's manual.
