Winter driving can be a harrowing experience, and if you take care of your Mitsubishi Canter or used Sprinter through the winter you can ease your concern while driving in bad weather.  Cold temperatures, snow, and icy roadways are all things people who live in the northern parts of the country need to deal with.  Here are some winter driving dos and do nots to help you keep your used Mitsubishi Canter for sale or used Sprinter safe from a Japanese used car exporter.

Do:
* Use windshield washer fluid that will not freeze.  Standard blue washer fluid will freeze when the temperature drops.  If you still have this type of fluid in your washer tank, top it off with winter de-icer windshield washer additive that includes dirt blocker.  It will clear light ice from your windshield, prevent refreeze, and improve your visibility.  Once you run out, use a winter windshield washer fluid.
* Change your motor oil so that you use a thicker motor oil in the winter.  This helps keep your engine from freezing.  It is a good idea to change the oil every 5,000 to 8,000 miles if you are traveling less than 10 miles during this weather.  Plus, make sure you use a premium oil filter as well to keep your oil clean.
* Use a de-icer spray that has a scraper top on it to help melt the frost and ice on your windshield so that you are not spending a long time trying to scrape your windows.  This will also help reduce refreezing once your window is clean.
* Keep an emergency kit in your car that contains a cell phone, spare jacket and gloves, blankets, water bottles, and scarves for yourself.  Carry extra oil, windshield washer fluid, and other fluids your car may need as well.

Do not:
* Do not drive fast in slippery conditions.  You will not be able to slow down quickly or turn as needed.  The car could easily slide on the ice and you could get into a wreck.
* Pour hot water on your windshield to melt the snow and ice.  This is a good way to crack your windshield in the cold weather.
* Leave your gas tank with less than a half of tank of gas in it.  Moisture can build up in the lines and in the gasoline which can keep your vehicle from starting properly or even running the right way.  By keeping a half a tank of gas in your car, you should have no problem getting your car running when you need it.
