[QUOTE="Draiter, post: 12199130, member: 137128"] You are parking it in less than two weeks? wow.. This is what I do... 1. Over inflate the tires to about 45 psi... Helps to avoid flat spots 2. Park the car on pieces of carpet or wood as the cement in the garage floor had chemicals in it that can affect the tires. 3. Run stabilizer in the tank for 1/2 tank before parking, then fill up the tank and put more stabilizer in it. 4. Change the oil and filter on the day you park it, then run for a few minutes to circulate new oil. Changing the oil removes the acids that are a byproduct of combustion and doesn't allow them to sit in the engine and pan all winter. 5. Pull the fuse for the fuel pumps on the day you park it, and then start the car and let it run till it dies. Removes the pressure in the fuel lines. 6. Get a battery maintainer and hook it up for the whole winter. Crappy tire sells a motomaster version that is quite good. 7. Wash and dry the entire car and clean interior. 8. Optional. Start the car every week or so and let it reach operating temperature to burn off any condensation in the oil....and to remind yourself what you have to look forward to in the spring. 9. In the spring, don't forget to deflate the tires to the proper psi. If I can remember anything else I'll post back.... Cheers Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2 [/QUOTE]
