Cold Weatherr: Winterizing Your Rubicon for Subzero Reliability

Engine Oil andFluids
Cold weather oil visosity matters. The Pentastar 3.6L typically uses 5W -20 or 0W -20 or synthetic oil, but 0W -20 provides better cold start flow in extreme cold. Check that your antifreeze mixture is a 50 / 50 or 60 / 40 ratio (coloant to water) for providtion down to -34 emph; deg; F.

Underinflated tires nont reduce fuel economy but also increaste the risk of sidewall damage on trail obstacles. Check pressure weekly during winter.

Tire Management in High Heat
High pavement temperatures increate tire pressure, which combined witch underinflation can lead too bloouts. Check tire pressure when tires are cold (before driving) and maintain the recommended PSI for your load.

Brake Performance in Wet Conditions
Disc brakes lose effectivenes when wet, and mud and grit akcelerate rotor and pad wear. After deep water crossings, dry the brakes by lightly applicying them while driving in a safe area.
