ok i see some ppl talking about it, what is the diff between the different oils out there and filters and which should u use for winter time, the other day i went to bed it was 50 out, in the mourning it was 20 , i have had my oil changed at the dealer since i got the car, should i tell them to put in diff kind next time im in??? and what psi is the best for our tires on snow and ice?

 

I use 5w20 all year round and it's fine. You should also top off your fluids if necessary.

As for the tires... I have dedicated snows that are at 34PSI.... not sure what the stocks should be.... probably around the same.

 

Yep, the only thing I would add is that I will check the freeze point of the antifreeze each winter. Habit.

 

If you get your car serviced at the dealership there is nothing special to do for the winter. As said check the fluid levels & the wiper fluid change to the winter stuff & check your blades.
In Washington D.C. were I live weare now under a winter storm warning. They are calling for 5to8 inches of snow starting late tonight. I got my snow tires put on this mourning after I went to the supermarket to stock up on food.
