Common Mid-Winter Vehicle Issues

Calgary’s cold weather can make existing vehicle problems more noticeable. Starting trouble, low tire pressure and fluid concerns are worth addressing during winter.

Starting and fuel-system concerns

Cold temperatures can thicken engine oil and reduce battery performance, increasing the effort needed to start the engine. Moisture in the fuel system can also contribute to freezing problems in severe cold.

Tire pressure and maintenance

Tire pressure can drop as temperatures fall. Check pressure against the vehicle’s recommended settings, and mention any warning lights or recurring pressure loss when arranging service.
