How to Prepare Your Buick or GMC for Winter

A big part of vehicle maintenance that often gets overlooked is cleaning, and not just for aesthetic purposes. In order to make sure your Buick or GMC is ready to go for the spring season, be sure to pay attention to a few things: Clean Your Buick or GMC Thoroughly The aftermath of a snowy winter makes spring cleaning for your car especially important. Be sure to deep clean your floor mats and the rest of your Buick or GMC interior to do away with the snow and salt that may have accumulated throughout the winter. Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades Are your windshield wiper blades ready to take on the spring showers? If your wiper blades have withstood a long winter, it may be time to replace them altogether. Schedule windshield wiper blade service with our Lima service center to prepare for warmer weather and rainfall. Schedule Tire Inspection Service From snow-ridden roads to potholes galore, your tires may need a closer look following the winter. If you installed winter tires on your Buick or GMC, you’ll need to replace them to be prepared for the appropriate weather. Schedule tire service with us at our Lima service center if need be. Replace Buick or GMC Fluids A season change is a great time to inspect your car’s fluids to see if you need an oil change or other fluid replacement service. Make sure your oil isn’t cloudy or an odd color, which are telltale signs that your Buick or GMC needs an oil change.

Schedule Service Having your oil changed is important for the health of your vehicle. A few factors play into how often you need your oil changed such as how old your vehicle is and what your driving conditions are like. Learn more about when you should have your oil changed, right here at Tom Ahl Buick GMC. Oil Change Intervals The normal interval for changing your oil used to be every 3,000 miles, but with modern engines and lubricants you can go every 5,000 to 7,500 miles between oil changes. Older cars typically base oil change intervals off of mileage. However if you are in extremely cold or hot climates the mileage may vary, which is when you should refer to the owner’s manual. Newer cars are usually equipped with oil-life monitoring systems which notify you when an oil change is needed with an alert through the instrument panel. If you don’t put a lot of miles on your car it is recommended that you have an oil change every 12 months, even if the maintenance reminder has not come on.
