I don't think we really "winterized" our car in America. Today's synthetic oils work just fine across both winter and summer temperature ranges, and snow was rare enough that we didn't need to put on snow tires/chains or load up the car with kitty litter, sand, and salt.
Since moving to Israel, we've winterized two cars. For the first (no longer in our possession), we figured out how to close the driver's window before the rains started. Currently, we're getting the headlights on the Mazda fixed. The headlights started to be unreliable in the summer, and have only gotten worse, but we do so little night driving that we've been able to avoid dealing with it. Now with the rainy season coming on and sunset getting earlier, it's time to "winterize our car", Israeli-style.
