Check Your Battery and Electrical System
Cold weather can reduce battery power by up to fifty percent, which makes starting your car more difficult. Have your battery tested at the Woodfield Nissan service center to confirm proper voltage and charging capacity.
Inspect your headlights, brake lights, and windshield wipers as well. Replace any burnt bulbs and use winter grade wiper blades for better visibility during snow or sleet.
Inspect Tires and Maintain Proper Pressure
As temperatures drop, tire pressure decreases roughly one PSI for every ten degrees Fahrenheit. Low tire pressure can reduce traction and fuel economy.
Check your tires weekly and consider switching to Nissan approved winter tires for better grip on icy or slushy roads. Our technicians can recommend the right set for your model, from the Altima to the Rogue.
Keep Fluids and Engine Components Winter Ready
Use winter grade engine oil as recommended in your owner’s manual and make sure the coolant mixture is set for freezing temperatures. Replace old wiper fluid with one designed for subzero conditions to prevent freezing on the windshield.

Also inspect your brake system, belts, and hoses for wear since cold weather can make rubber parts brittle. Scheduling your winter maintenance early helps you avoid breakdowns once temperatures drop below zero.
