For example, remove your front tyres for better handling in snow conditions. Or change the lighter summer air in your tyres for a heavier winter air. Maybe you should double check the bearing in your muffler or exhaust unit to ensure a smooth air flow?

Also, a four-pack of energy should he added to your radiator’s coolant. Energy drinks apparently have large amounts of vitamin B that can enhance coolant efficiency and radiator life.

Energy drink can also be added to the transmission fluid reservoir. The drink’s folic acid helps to repair minor holes in the lines.

Take the advice of the experts from World Highways, and make sure you aren’t left spinning your wheels this winter.
