"winterizing your Volvo" S40-V40 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Alberto on  Thu Nov 16 17:53 CST 2000 [RELATED]

For Christmas we're planning on driving up to WI. Does anyone have any ideas about what winterizing a car means, other than flushing the radiator fluid (not needed here, car only has 7k mi). I am running Valvoline SynPower 5w-30 in it.

I'm more concerned about the body. I've seen what WI winters do to cars, the underside of my wife's old Protege (V40 replaced it) looked like swiss cheese (no pun intended).

So I've been wondering about this, especially since 2 browsing through the S/V40 accessories catalog and noticing the snow tires Volvo offers and in the description they recommend speaking with "your Volvo retailer". Other than the freak snow storm, 20" in less than 10hrs, we had (NC) this Jan there's no salting here.

Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Alberto
