Re: Storing during winter ... Need TIPS!
Store it with a full tank of gas w/ a fuel stabilizer added.
Clean well before storing You may want to put moth balls in & around the car to prevent critters Lift & support properly - tires off the ground Plug the tail pipe - critters love making nests in mufflers - also will use air filters as nests - chew them all up, chew wires, etc. Bag the tires - apply tire dressing & seal inside garbage bag or tire bag Carpet under the car / cover car Disconnect & trickle charge battery Change the oil before storing Last edited by jackasssi; 10-27-2003 at 11:14 PM. |

Did you mean change the oil before "storing" or before starting it again after winter?

Re: Storing during winter ... Need TIPS!
Acutally depending on how long its stored you may want to change it before & after. I meant to say change the oil before *storing*. When it does come time to start it up, it would be wise to at least install a new oil filter, pre-filled w/ oil. You do that so oil pressure builds quicker
