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:
The Humble Mechanic- 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.
