Hello... or, rather, howdy, ya'll.
We bought a new Forester in Florida in October. Turns out, for various reasons (some of them unpleasant) we need to drive up to see family in Colorado. We'll be leaving late this week.
We are anticipating driving through some rather unpleasant weather at times, though we'll be avoiding everything we can and taking our time. Also, fwiw, we're both from WY/CO, so we're comfortable in this arena, and have our winter emergency driving kit basically ready to go. I'm more concerned about other technical advice you may have with the Foz. Foz also has the all-weather package, including heated seats, mirrors, and wiper blades.
But since we're taking a tropically comfortable new Foz into the frozen tundra up North, I'm wondering if you have any tips or advice for winterizing the car in advance. Anything we can/should do at the shop? Different oil, different washer fluid, etc?
