5 Ways to Prepare Billings Used Cars for Winter

Many used cars in Billings MT have been through the ringer. Not only have they been driven by one or more previous owners, they've also been forced to navigate the harsh conditions of a Montana winter.

If you own a used car, truck, or SUV in Billings, you need to make sure it's good to go for the coming cold. Here are our top five tips on preparing used cars in Billings for winter.

5 Ways to Prepare Used Cars Billings for Winter in Montana

  1. Ensure your tires are in good shape. If you're still using the tires that came with your used car, it's probably time for an upgrade. Switching to winter tires will offer you better traction and protection against hydroplaning. And always keep a close eye on your tire pressure, as it will fluctuate greatly with drastic changes in temperature.
  2. Inspect your battery. Used cars in Montana have a greater risk of having an old or corroded battery. If yours is five years old, you might want to replace it. Regardless, you should make sure that your battery has the right amount of fluid and that your cables and clamps are fray-free.
  3. Check your oil. If you're overdue for an oil change, do it now! Be sure to ask for an oil with a lower viscosity since winter can thicken the oil, which can cause engine strain.
  4. Fill up your antifreeze. A high-quality coolant can work wonders on Billings used cars--it will help protect against freeezing and corrosion. When the weather starts to hover around or below zero, drain a little of your 50/50 solution, and fill with straight-up antifreeze.
  5. Invest in winter wiper blades and fluid. When you're driving through a snowstorm, the last thing you want is a windshield that's covered in sleet or ice. Get winter windshield wipers as well as a winter solvent with de-icing properties for the best visibility.
