Chances are you are curled up on your couch with a blanket and a hot cup of tea since the winter temperatures in our area have really dipped down low lately. The snow is on the ground and just the simple everyday tasks we normally do so easily, like go to work or run errands, have become so much more involved and complex. We here at Lithia Toyota of Klamath Falls want to make sure you are prepared this winter when it comes to winter driving so let's talk a bit about keeping your fuel tank full in the…

Bring salt, sand, or kitty litter along for traction during winter for weather de-icing. Either of these handy substances can help drivers along an icy road, but one may outweigh the benefits of the other.

Klamath Falls drivers never know when snow or ice might place them in a slippery situation when winter blows through town. Therefore, visit Lithia Toyota of Klamath Falls and get snow tires and the winter car checkup for winter readiness. After this, place a bag of kitty litter in the trunk for tire traction in icy emergencies. 

If you've ever been car shopping, you're probably well aware this can be quite a time-consuming process. You have to not only research and purchase a new vehicle but, you also have to secure financing. Not to worry Lithia Toyota of Klamath Falls has simplified the process.

The answer in short is no.

Without a doubt, to run smoothly your vehicle depends on having clean engine oil. But changing it every 3,000 miles may be overkill.

Years ago it was recommended to change your oil and filters more often. However with the many technological advances and improvements of modern day vehicles, it is actually recommended to only change your oil every 7,500 miles or more on average.

The winter season around Klamath Falls, OR always brings cold air. While buying a new coat may be the way you prepare for the chilly weather, don’t forget about preparing your car, particularly, your car's windshield wipers. Having winter windshield wipers installed on your car or truck is an important part of your car’s seasonal maintenance. Why is it so important? Here are three reasons: 

Never underestimate the importance of tire rotation as part of your routine vehicle maintenance. Regularly rotating your tires not only prolongs the longevity of your tires but takes stress off of your vehicle's suspension system. When you do not regularly rotate your tires, it causes vibrations affecting your vehicles suspension and you ultimately feel it in your steering wheel. What does this mean? A trip to your local dealership for potentially costly repairs.

While going on a trip with your dog in your expensive and comfortable automobile, it is necessary to take several precautions to ensure the safety and comfort of your dog. It is good to engage your dog in fun activities in preparation of long journeys.
