I seem to do a bunch of maintenance heading into winter? Just curious what different guys do? Guys in Canada or the North, probably are doing different things than owners in the South or Southwest.
Items I finished on my DD's ...a few I still need to finish before snow flies:
- Oil & filter change. Inspect Air filter
- Check fluid levels & correct if needed
- Inspect underside for leaks, looseness, etc
- Inspect/clean throttle bore/plate
- Tire rotation & inspection
- Inspect belt & pulleys
- Inspect air filter
- Vacuum carpets
- Clean items and toss things as needed
- Clean sunroof gaskets, surround & ensure drains are clear
- Inspect spark plugs (I haven't done this in a few yrs)
- Clean/vacuum dried leaves out of lower fenders.
- Drizzle oil in the door bottoms/tailgate, etc
- Leather condition seats
- Inspect brakes
- On one vehicle I brushed fluid film oil on the backside of the aluminum wheels to help protect from road salt
Luckily I didn't need to replace much this fall. Pretty easy.
What am I missing ...what do you guys do?
