Here Comes the Sun

 We all drive our vehicles year round not only limousines, but your car needs special care during the change of seasons. When ever the changes temperatures your car goes thru some unique changes also. Warm weather stretches belts ,tires, hoses and most anything plastic or rubber. Oils and lubricants have some significant changes which effect their properties and ability to preform.

With respect to tires your pressure can increase or decrease. From hot to cold tire can increase in pressure by 3 to 7 pounds. This does not seem like a lot but it can effect your fuel mileage by 3 to 5 miles per gallon when over pressured. So fuel mileage loss and premature tire wear is an effect of incorrect tire inflation or under inflation.
Another item most people forget is their air conditioning or AC system coming from cold weather to hot. If you have ever rolled up the windows turned on the AC just to find hot air blowing in your face you know what I mean.

So here is a checklist we do during the change of seasons:

Cold to Hot

• Tire pressure
• Belts on motor
• Engine coolant
• A/C Servicing
• Windshield washer fluid and blades

Hot to Cold

• Tire Pressure and condition for snow 
• Heater
• Coolant for proper mixture( not too much water for freezing)
• Fuel tank for the presents of water ( add some dry gas) 

I hope this helps jog your memory for the change of seasons. Don't forget to also change your fluids as suggested by your manufacture.
