To avoid car malfunctions and costly repairs during winter, the Car Care Council recommends six key steps: maintaining at least a half to two-thirds full gas tank, regularly checking tire pressure (and considering snow tires), inspecting for carbon monoxide leaks, allowing the car to warm up, using low-viscosity oil, and ensuring a clear windshield with functional wipers and cold-weather fluids. Heeding local travel advisories is also advised for safety.
