Winter Checks

[waynne]

Hey guys - Winter is here (Northern Hemisphere at least cos I know we've got some members from down under!)

Have you all checked your Tyre pressure, Anti Freeze, Oil Level, and Screen Wash levels? (Be honest - I bet you only check them once a year!)

My water resevior ran out today after I temped fate and said "It's been ages since I topped up my water.."

[xavier]

Do mine every week (or ten) Oil was pretty low though! Thanks for the reminder!

Still in winter. Last night I left the cinema at 5.5 degress and 20 minutes drive later the temperature had dropped to -1! Thats one of the fastest temperature drops I have ever seen.

Engines need oil in the summer, too.

Does anyone use different grades of oil in the summer/winter? My grandad always used to but I've not really seen the point of it with modern multigrade oils.

No they dont! THe magical Pixies come out in the summer, and fill the car with Pixie Juice (I'll let you guys decide where it comes from) which gives the engine a complete immunization to Oil based death.
