The Impact of Oil Viscosity on Your Vehicle in Cold Weather

By Bill DeBoer on Dec 28, 2023 11:45:00 AM

As winter approaches, it's crucial to consider the effects of oil viscosity on your vehicle's performance. Oil viscosity, or its thickness, plays a significant role in engine function, especially in colder temperatures. Understanding this factor can help car owners make informed decisions about the type of oil they use and the importance of routine maintenance.
In colder weather, traditional oils tend to thicken, creating challenges for engines during startup. Thickened oil struggles to flow efficiently, increasing friction and wear on engine components. This can result in poor fuel efficiency, reduced engine performance, and potential long-term damage.

Winter Ready: 3 Vital Checks for Your Vehicle

By Bill DeBoer on Dec 21, 2023 8:15:15 PM

Winter is upon us, and ensuring your vehicle is equipped to handle the challenging conditions is crucial for both safety and performance. Here are the top three things you need to check to winterize your ride:

1. Battery Condition:
As temperatures drop, your car's battery has to work harder. Cold weather can significantly reduce its efficiency. Make certain your battery is in optimal condition by checking the charge and inspecting for any signs of corrosion on the terminals. If your battery is more than three years old, it's wise to have it professionally tested or replaced to prevent any unexpected breakdowns in the freezing weather.

Understanding the Ideal Gas Theory: How It Affects Your Tire Pressure in Cold Weather

By Bill DeBoer on Nov 14, 2023 9:33:26 AM

You may be wondering how this chemistry lesson relates to our work on cars. The ideal gas theory is an equation that uses P for pressure and V for volume. This theory explains what happens to the air in your tires during cold weather. As the temperature drops, the pressure in your tires decreases due to a direct correlation. This is the reason why you may see your tire light come on every morning during the winter months.

The formula for the ideal gas theory is PV = NRT. This means that the pressure times volume equals the number of moles of air multiplied by the gas constant rate and temperature. Although we cannot control the weather, we can help you when your tire pressure is low and direct you on how to keep your tire pressure in a safe range so that you can travel safely.

Savory Corn Bread Stuffing

By Heidi Robertson on Oct 30, 2023 2:06:47 PM

Growing up in my house we had holidays and meals that I thought were traditional. The fresh turkey, mom's sausage and parsley stuffing, mashed potatoes corn, usually a green bean casserole, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and almost everything was made from scratch. What else could you possibly need? Fast forward through the years, and lucky for me, I married a man who loves to cook and is really good at it. Although the first couple of holidays were honestly a bit of a gamble for me. If we hosted, I'd have to have the side comment with my siblings, as to ""Please, don't say 'Where's the sausage stuffing?'", and yes, you have to at least try the homemade squash soup he made. In every case, we were all pleasantly surprised and our bellies were always too full at the end of the day. Now one of the favorites is the cornbread stuffing that he makes. It's amazing, and there's usually not much for leftovers.

Get Your Mercedes Sprinter Van Repaired Quicker At DeBoer’s Auto

The Mercedes Sprinter Van is a great vehicle, but it’s also a very common one that we see in our shop at DeBoer’s Auto. The biggest problem is we often were not able to do the repair in-house because we did not have the equipment or parts to be able to work on them. This meant we had to send the vehicle to Mercedes to get repaired or the customer had to do so. We never like to make our customers jump through hoops or spend any extra money if it can be avoided, so we are thrilled to have acquired the Mercedes scan tool so we can handle most repairs to Mercedes Sprinter Vans in-house.
