Winter Car Care Tip: Don't Idle in the Snow

While warming up your vehicle in winter may seem like a good idea, it wastes gas and can add to air pollution. While there are extenuating circumstances for letting your vehicle get toasty, like your windshield is frozen and warming up the car is needed in order to scrape all the ice off the windows, it is generally best to follow the following warm-up routine: start the car, put on your seatbelt, and drive. 

***The main thing to remember is to drive "easy" for the first few miles allowing the engine oil and other vital fluids to circulate and lubricate their necessary components.
