The Ford service department at Lithia Ford of Missoula is now offering appointments for winter oil changes. This prior to colder air temperatures and the affects on fluid viscosity below 45-degrees in Montana.
What to Expect
Winter places certain demands on your vehicle -- from tires and wiper blades to fluids and exterior lighting. And one of the more important details rests with the oil currently coursing through your engine.
For winter, there are seasonally appropriate blends that are crafted to be more viscous and therefore better able to lubricate internal powertrain parts. Though, leaving oil left over from summer may be more susceptible to congealing with colder air if it's not outright contaminated.
Either way, a winter-themed oil change serves to support performance and system longevity.
