Moderate Climate Preparation

For those of us living in the areas north of Midland and Odessa TX, we fall into the moderate climate category. Moderate climate areas experience a little of it all, with fairly warm summers and a dusting of snow in the winter. Some of the best ways to keep your Subaru ready for anything in a moderate climate are:

• Inspect your tires and check tire pressure, tread depth, and condition
• Consider using all-season tires
• Check the oil level
• Check all fluid levels
• Inspect your heating, cooling, and defroster systems
• Test the battery
• Check the wipers and exterior lights
• Check the components of the suspension system
• Check the wheel alignment
• Check the brake pads and components

Cold Climate Preparation

If you decide to leave Texas to move further north, you might end up in a dramatically colder environment. Colder climates have harsher winters full of moderate to substantial snowfall and are ideal for those who want to tear through powder with an AWD Subaru. Summers in cold climate areas will still experience warm weather and summer rains, but for a shorter duration than warm or moderate climates. If you will be hitting the road in a cold climate area, here is what you can do to get your Subaru ready:

• Consider switching to winter tires
• Check and adjust tire pressure, as cold temperatures decrease tire pressure
• Check tire tread depth and overall condition
• Check the oil level
• Check all fluid levels
• Be sure to use windshield washer fluid designed for freezing temperatures
• Check your wiper blades and exterior lights
• Consider switching to winter wiper blades that can handle getting icy
• Test the battery
• Check the brake pads and components
• Check the heating and defroster systems
