ok well im getting ready for winter now
i need some opinions on what to use.......

here's my list:
1. oil change-what viscosity do you use in the winter season? i've heard thicker
2. differential oil- what viscosity and gasket?
3. coolant flush
4. tire pressure
5. transfer case oil- same as above......
6. rotate tires

is there anything else you do to get ready for winter??

1. No for cold weather you want thinner oil.
2. I use the same year round.
3. I use 50-50 5 year anti freeze
4. Depends on what size tires and what I'm doing with them.
5. yes.
6. Yes.
7. I would change the transmission oil or fluid.
8. Carry a set of chains.
9. Carry a recovery strap and have recovery points front and rear.

1=run the same just let it warm up for about 4-5 mins
2=leave the same
3= If it looks nasty or old I would change it. I run peak 50/50
4=same year round
5=same as number 2
6=i try to do it every 3,500 to 4,000 miles
Anything else i would do is check your belts and hoses
