Summmerize Your Car

Are you a person that lives in an area that has both hot summers and cold and snowy winters, like we do here in Iowa? Well if you do, and participate in transportation involving any type vehicle such as a car, than you have probably heard of the process of winterizing your car. But what you may not have heard, or may not have thought that it was as important is called summarizing your car. Yes, yes that’s not a misspelling on my part, I actually did mean summarizing.

So if you have winterized your car before you may have changed your oil, changed tires, changed tire pressure, and added accessories inside of your car to fend the ordeals of winter with, but have you had the same approach to your car, as the waning weeks of March and April are upon you? Well if you haven’t considered these ideas, it might be useful if you did, for not only your but also you and your wallet.

Some things that people do in the winter to prep their cars include getting beefier tires, heavier oil, and raised tire pressure. Well as one might expect, to summarize your car, many of these processing given for winterization can just be reversed. First of all if you are interested in saving more money in the long run, than it would be strongly advisable to replace your large winter tires and wheels, with lighter and smaller tires with less tread. These highway tires can be bought at your local car dealer. Another changed that could benefit you in the summer is a lighter and thinner oil. A thicker oil is used in the winter in order to decrease freezing and create a better greaser fluidity. Well this excess thickness could actually hinder your cars driving efficiency, as for in the summer a thinner oil is a much better lubricant. This thinner oil can be used faster and does not clog up in hot weather. One last change to increase your cars driving performance in the winter is to increase your tire pressure. In the winter sometimes people will run their tires at a lower pressure due to the snowy roads, but in the summer the least amount of rubber surface area touching the road the better. This less surface area and harder tire will greatly increase your gas mileage, which yet again will cushion your wallet.
