Your windshield wipers are working overtime in the winter, which means your wiper fluid gets used at a much higher rate.

Confirm your heater is working before you feel a chill. Ask a trusted mechanic about the best coolant-to-water ratio<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"none\">to prevent problems like freezing and corrosion.
