The colder temperatures affect your car just as much as they affect you!  When temperatures get below freezing level, the temperature of your engine will also decrease, which means you need to make sure your engine has the right type of oil in it.  A less viscous oil (5W-30 for example) in the fall and winter can help keep your engine running smoothly.  (Check your vehicle's manual or the manufacturer for specific recommendations.) Your battery is also affected by the colder weather so it is important to inspect your battery, cables, and more to ensure you won't be left stranded by a car that won't start.  It is also helpful to have an emergency kit in your vehicle that might include items like blankets, boots, flares and a flashlight.
