Winter Readiness Checklist | Do It Yourself
If you're a celebrated do-it-yourselfer or you simply want to know what to look out for, we have you covered. When you perform a few of these functions and checks, you'll increase the odds of having a successful winter with your Honda or other model.
Tire Check
Your tires connect you to the road. As the snow and ice pile up, it's important that you verify your tire health and that it's inflated properly. The special tools you'll need are a penny and a PSI reader.
- Penny Test: This tried and true approach to verifying if your tire tread is healthy has been used by experts and novices alike. Simply take a penny and set it, head facing the ground, between two of your tires' grooves. If you see the entire head, it's time for new tires.
- PSI Test: This test allows you to verify if your tires are properly inflated. Over-inflated tires are just as dangerous and harmful as under-inflated tires. Before performing the test, check your tire information to confirm the proper PSI it suggests.
If one or more of your tires fails either of these tests, visit Moon Township Honda. We'll put things right.
Battery Check
Your battery powers more than just your radio. When your battery is old or dying, it will impact your driving experience. A dead battery on a cold Pittsburgh morning is not something that anyone wants to wake up to. That's why we suggest checking your battery's charge level, verifying the connectors are secure, and cleaning any corrosion from the battery connectors.
If you need help performing this check or need assistance cleaning and securing your connectors, our team is happy to help. If your battery life is coming to an end, we can replace the battery for you and get you back on the road quickly.
Oil Change
Cold weather is rough on engines. One of the things you can do to ensure your engine doesn't have to work harder than necessary is to change your engine oil. Cold temperatures can increase your oil's viscosity, making your engine work that much harder to perform. When your engine works harder, that means you'll burn more fuel.
If you're capable, you can save time and money by performing this service yourself. But if you'd prefer to let our experts handle it, we'll take great care of your vehicle and help you get back to doing what you love quickly.

Anything can happen when you're on the road. A sudden breakdown can be as dangerous as it is annoying. Regardless of the reason, Moon Township Honda doesn't want you to be left out in the cold.
That's why creating a Winter Emergency Kit and placing it in your car is essential. Here are several things every kit should have so that you can explore with peace of mind.
