These include the engine oil and filter, transmission fluid, coolant or radiator fluid, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, power steering fluid and air conditioning coolant. We also recommend that drivers are diligent about checking the tire pressure on a regular basis, as a drop in temperature can result in loss of tire pressure. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related Content: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimbercreekford.com\/blog\/how-do-i-get-my-car-ready-for-winter\/\">How Do I Get My Car Ready for Winter?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.kimbercreekford.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/347\/2019\/09\/Close-up-wheel-on-snow-shot_b.jpg\" alt=\"Tire driving on a snowy road\" class=\"wp-image-1864 size-full\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3>How else can I prepare for driving in winter?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When preparing to drive in winter months, we recommend that driver\u2019s check the tread level on their tires and upgrade to a tread that can perform during all seasons and on more slick roads. Also, drivers should prepare an emergency kit for your vehicle that has a blanket, phone charger, battery pack, a flash light, hand warmers, jumper cables, a first aid kit, bottled water, road flares, windshield cleaner and an ice scraper.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related Content: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimbercreekford.com\/blog\/video-how-to-prepare-your-vehicle-for-minnesota-winters\/\">Video: How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Minnesota Winters<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Schedule a Service Appointment at Kimber Creek Ford<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you prefer letting the professionals handle preparing your vehicle for winter in central Minnesota?
