Ice is slippery. You can have the newest tires, but they will still slip on ice. Unless you have chains or studs in the tires that will cut into the ice, you are going to slide.

Heavy electrical load and a badly worn and or loose belt that is slipping!

Alignment is probably out. Sounds like a toed-out problem. This is where the wheels point out and the tires are skidding on the inside edge. There may also be worn suspension or steering parts causing or contributing to this.

When refilling the oil some may have dripped onto the belt which would cause it to start slipping badly and squealing loudly.
What does it mean when power steering fluid is leaking on tire rim?
Chances are, if it's a passenger car or minivan, you have "rack and pinion steering". And if that's the case it means your rack is leaking badly. Get it replaced or it could become dangerous to your braking, and you could lose all steering.
