unfortunately it's time to start planning for the cold, snow and ice. although when i search, it seems like most people are lucky enough to store their S. mine is my DD. so what i'm wondering is how to prep for driving through the winter. obviously, quality snow tires and a brake check are at the top of my list. i am about to get all the fluids changed but other than that i am at a loss.

one specific question i have is, is there anything that can be used on the weather sealing to prevent the door windows from freezing to it? and other than that, just looking for any tips.

thanks guys

 

Mine is also my DD. I have had it 4 years now and never have done anything special to it for winter. Just take care of it, wash the road salt off as soon as you can, change the oil.

 

I put the snow tires on just before the first forecasted snowfall or hard freeze.
Stick to your regularly scheduled maintenance.
You could put a light coat of silicon grease on the rubber. I haven’t.

 

Before the winter I'm going to change the diff fluid from LE1605 to something that works better in the cold, treat the top and shin etsu the seals. That's about it. I'm considering switching to 10w-40 motor oil but haven't decided.

I plan to put on snows as soon as it hits the 30's on a regular basis. If you haven't bought tires yet I'd recommend Dunlop Wintersports. They worked out great for me last year.

 

can't think of anything else, i have an undercoating on my car for winter aswell
