Wichita Winter and Your Motor Oil: What You Need to Know

How Cold Wichita Winters Affect Your Car’s Motor Oil

When winter settles into Wichita, cold mornings near the Arkansas River and icy commutes along Kellogg can change how your engine oil works.

So, in this blog the experts at Tracy’s Tire Pros take a close look at the affects of cold weather on your motor oil and the steps to take to protect your car’s engine.
