Change your Wiper Blades
Wiper blades can crack and split over time, leading to slow, squeaky blades that don’t perform well. And that’s the last thing you want for rainy or snowy winter weather. Change your wiper blades to winterize your car and consider buying more durable winter-ready wiper blades if you live in a harsher climate.Prepare the Wiper fluid
Make sure the car wiper fluid reservoir is full so that it is easier to wash away the winter grime. If temperatures drop close to freezing temperatures, buy the wiper fluid which has anti-freeze properties and fill the reservoir with such liquids.Check Air pressure in Tires

Extreme temperatures can affect batteries, so you should make sure that your battery is clean. And that the connections are secure and not corroded. If it’s an older battery, consider getting it tested and possibly replaced before the weather gets bad to winterize your car.Change Engine Oil
