Your vehicle’s tires are an important part of your car, but they do more than just take your car from Point A to Point B. They also play a part in getting you there safely, especially on winter roads. Choosing the right type of winter tires can make all the difference. We have a full line of winter tires at Lithia Subaru of Oregon City and would love to advise you on what type of winter tires you need.
Most winter tires are available as passenger car tires or light truck/SUV tires.

A differential is a gearbox that is found between the drive wheels of your vehicle. If your vehicle has a four-wheel drive system, then it more than likely has a front and rear differential.

Your vehicle's battery needs to be in top working order for the winter. Have your battery tested. You should replace your battery if it tests at a low or borderline level.

A tire pressure sensor is directly inserted into all tires installed on vehicles made after September 2007. If the tire gets below a certain threshold, the sensor light will appear on the dashboard. In some vehicles, an indirect system measures the rotation of the tires and goes off if it determines one tire isn't performing like it should.
Tires could be underinflated because it was cold overnight or because they haven't been inflated in the last few months. Underinflated tires can reduce gas mileage and result in excess wear on the product itself.
The engine and cabin air filters in your vehicle are essential in maintaining the proper airflow for maximum performance. The cabin filter is crucial for you and your passengers, while engine air filters keep your vehicle's engine running at its peak performance.
Cabin Air Filter Function and Replacement
The cabin air filter removes the particles and pollutants that can reach the interior of the vehicle. Driving in dry, dusty conditions can quickly affect the performance of the filter. A dirty, clogged filter will need replacing.

The reason many drivers keep putting off those service calls for their vehicle is because they are too busy to be sitting in the waiting room all day waiting for the technicians to get to their car. With the online scheduling app, you can book your next service call at the dealership on your terms.
Maybe the new season is here and your vehicle needs a good maintenance check. Use the online scheduler, pick the time, and when you arrive the team will rotate the tires, change the fluids, and make sure all the moving parts are lubricated.
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.
