Maintenance schedule                   

  • Check the protection level (freeze point) of the coolant
    • Any *-Mart or auto parts store sells a simple, cheap, easy-to-use antifreeze checker
  • Make sure the battery is in good shape
    • If you're not sure, just be ready to replace it, as battery problems will show up in winter
    • A good set of jumper cables is a good thing to have in the spare tire area
