Volvo cars are designed for life, and that includes all four seasons. On top of giving your vehicle a good cleaning inside and out, there are a few Volvo service tasks that can help shake off winter wear and tear. Our service department at Fields Volvo Cars Northfield recommends taking care of these issues to make sure your car is prepared for spring.
Check Fluid Levels
Car fluids serve an important role in keeping your vehicle healthy and making each drive safe. You’ll want to check each one to make sure the levels are where they should be using the dipstick. Fluid levels you should check include:
- Engine oil
- Power steering fluid
- Brake fluid
- Transmission fluid (in automatic cars)
- Coolant
- Windshield washer fluid
Inspect or Replace Tires
As the snow melts, the roads will become free of ice and snow. When spring is in bloom, you should remove your winter tires and replace them with a more appropriate set. If you have all-season tires, check them out for any excessive wear or damage, and if needed, let us install a new set.
Oil Change
The oil in your vehicle keeps your engine lubricated. If your oil becomes old and dirty or if the level is too low, irreparable damage may occur that will cost much more than an oil change. Check your reminder sticker to see when your next recommended oil change is, or just bring your Volvo car to our service center and we’ll take it from there.
