Porsche Maintenance Tips – Autumn/Winter 2007-2008
Sure, it's easy to maintain your car in the crisp dry weather that marks fall in our region. But winter is lurking just around the corner. Whether you drive your Porsche in the winter or park it safely under cover, here are some precautionary measures you should take:

Perform routine checks.
Have your battery checked and top off coolant and all fluids. If you drive in the winter, this is especially important because it will help ensure your car keeps running all season long.

Choose safety over performance.
All season or winter tires are your best bet if you plan to drive during the winter. Performance-rated tires aren't recommended for cold weather.

Protect the outside, too.
Get your Porsche detailed and waxed to protect the paint from snow, salt, and sub-zero temperatures. If you'll be driving, our technicians can install a "Clear Bra" chip guard protection system to protect the front of the car from stone chips and salt spray.

Talk to your pit crew.
Stop by Don Rosen Imports and have our service technicians check your tires and fluids periodically throughout the season. If you park the car, come in at the end of the season and start fresh with an oil change.

Keep it covered.
The best way to protect your Porsche in the harsh winter months is to park it in a garage or under a breathable cover. But to keep your battery from going dead and freezing while the car isn't in use, be sure to get a winter battery maintainer.
