Horsepower is a state of measurement. The numerical figure is 745.7 watt. Horsepower is a term coined by James Wyatt, a Scottish born engineer with a keen interest in building steam engines.

The term was an effective way for people to grasp the strength of the steam engine and its capacity for work. Although, the use of this term is used today, sparingly in engineering circles, people still enjoy referring to the power of the car engine in horsepower.

Some seasons provide the worst conditions that could be precarious for drivers. When it’s freezing, snowing, raining heavily or the temperatures are frigid, you need to change elements like the windshield wipers to stronger ones because it's the small details that make the most difference.

The winter wipers are molded explicitly for the icy weather. The frame is sturdy because the moving and adjustable parts are not present under the rubber and this prevents it from bending as it moves the snow from the windshield. 

The end of summer is near. Oh, how we hate to see it go. Maybe you’ve enjoyed camping in your Outback with your family, or opening the large sunroof of your Forester wide to let in the sun’s balmy rays. Perhaps you’ve taken your kayak and other gear to the beach using your Crosstrek. Summer is all about fun and adventure. But Subaru vehicles have a more serious, safety-oriented side too. 

Not mentally ready for the winter weather? That's OK. At least make sure your vehicle is by scheduling a service appointment with Lithia Subaru of Oregon City's service center.
