[QUOTE="harry gilbert, post: 6235167, member: 4763"] Worst thing you can do is run the car for a short time. The combustion byproducts that get past the rings collect in the oil pan, and form acids. You don't get the engine hot enough to burn off the water vapor, and that causes rust. Raw gas washes the oil off the cylinder walls. So-- put the car on a trickle charger to keep the battery from freezing / sulphating; inflate the tires to about 45psi (and put on carpet squares over plastic to prevent dry rot). Put Stabil in the gas tank to keep the gas from forming varnish. When Spring comes, take it out and run it for a few3 hours. After a proper break-in (vary engine speeds and don't over-rev for 500 miles), it will be in good condition. [/QUOTE]
