Car care tips from top automotive bloggers

Winter temperatures take a toll on vehicles on the road. Be sure to perform routine check-ups when temperatures warm up. 

Some of the top automotive repair bloggers have shared their top tips for routine check-ups with the WD-40 Brand. See what they have to say:

• Inspect tires – even the spare – for wear, dry rot and proper inflation. Acceleration, braking and cornering can be improved with higher quality tires and proper care.  
• Use WD-40 EZ-Reach to lubricate and displace moisture inside latches to prevent doors, hoods and trunks from sticking.

• Change windshield wiper blades when the seasons change. Spring is the perfect time to refresh windshield wipers after they worked hard all winter.  
• Check your battery before summer. Temperature changes often cause batteries to fail especially if they are old and weak.

• Use WD-40 Big Blast to coat the underside of a vehicle to prevent dirt and mud from sticking before heading off-road. 
• Attach a neodymium magnet on the side of a drill press and attach a chuck to it when not in use to ensure you won’t lose it.
• Take the first 30 minutes of the morning to clean up your shop and return every tool to its proper place to save time over the course of the day.

• Clean the terminals and battery cable ends. This will help the battery work its best in warmer weather. Use WD-40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner to prevent battery acid buildup at the connections. 
• Continue to check tire pressure as seasons change, as pressure can fluctuate with temperature changes.
