Rotation Pattern Guide

FWD: Front to rear straight, rear cross to front

RWD: Rear to front straight, front cross to rear

AWD/4WD: Full X-pattern every 5,000–7,500 mi

Staggered: Side-to-side only if non-directional tires

Recommended rotation interval: every 5,000–7,500 miles. Rotate with every other oil change for best results.

❄ Winter Prep

✓ Check antifreeze concentration (minimum -34°F protection)

✓ Test battery — cold temps reduce capacity 30–60%

✓ Verify tire tread depth (4/32" minimum for snow traction)

✓ Consider winter tires if driving in snow or ice regions

✓ Replace wiper blades and refill washer fluid (-20°F rated)

✓ Test heater, front/rear defroster, and heated seats if equipped

✓ Inspect fuel lines and check for water in fuel system

☀ Summer Prep

✓ Check coolant level and test radiator cap pressure seal

✓ Inspect serpentine belt for cracking or glazing

✓ Test A/C system output and replace cabin air filter if needed

✓ Check tire pressure — heat increases PSI (recheck cold in a.m.)

✓ Inspect brake pads and rotors before summer road trips

✓ Check transmission fluid color and level

✓ Top off all fluids: brake, power steering, coolant, washer
