As temperatures drop from Arctic winds, how do you keep your car running? WXYZ and AAA have some tips on how to keep your car going all
through winter and beyond. And here are the seven tips:

1. Battery

Have your battery tested to make sure it's fully charged and functional.

2. Gas

Keep the gas always at half full to prevent gas line freeze ups.

3. Windshield Washer Fluid

Always use fluid that has winter solvent so it doesn't freeze.

4. Engine Coolant

Use a coolant with anti-freeze protection.

5. Vehicle Storage

Try to park in a garage whenever possible.

6. Car doors

Keep them from freezing! Keep a plastic between the window/door and the frame.

7. Car Wash

Postpone till temperatures are above freezing.

He has an uncontrollable beard and has been known to wear a kilt on the right occasion. Might be a robot, we are checking on that. Send oil.
