Are you eager for spring to arrive? You’re certainly not the only one, as most drivers are looking forward to putting winter in our rearview mirrors. Your MINI car, however, may not be ready to deal with the season change. If you haven’t gotten it any maintenance in a while, these are the essential MINI service tasks to schedule.
Wiper Replacement
Chances are high that your windshield wipers aren’t looking great right about now. Snow and ice can do a number on them, especially if they were already old, to begin with. A new set will ensure that you will have great visibility through rainstorms, pollen explosions, and any other things to expect this spring.
Battery Test
Freezing temperatures can have a bad effect on a battery, which is why you should have yours tested. This is particularly important if your battery is several years old. You need to know how much power it has left and replace it if necessary.
Oil Change
If you want your MINI to continue to have great performance, you’ll make sure to get its oil changed. In cold weather, oil gets thicker, and this hinders the power the engine can provide. Thick oil also hurts fuel economy, forcing you to spend excessively on gas.
Air Pressure Check
With the temperature starting to warm up, the air pressure in your tires may fluctuate. And when they get too low, not only does this hurt their performance, but it can also reduce gas mileage.
