[QUOTE="E.Marquez, post: 12384165, member: 133678"] Wash, detail interior..carpets, seats, dash etc.., polish and wax paint, wheels. -anything you leave on the paint will A: be there come Spring and look like crap, B: Bay spend the winter eating your paint. Check the RAD and H/E tank fluid, level and proper mix. Check brake, and PS fluid, top off.. better yet bleed the brakes before putting it to bed, A: you get some new dry fluid in there for spring time, B: that wet fluid in there now will not be sitting over the winter corroding the brake MC and calipers. Change the oil and filter.. then once you park it LEAVE IT... running it for a few minutes a month only dumps corrosives and moisture in the oil, which then sits in your engine till spring... Running it for a bit longer, well into normal operating temp will at least burn off any condensation in the oil... but still, now the normal byproducts that contaminate oil while in use are sitting in your engine... Put the battery on a quality tender. Check the air pressure on the tires. If the garage is not environmentally controlled, let it stay cold, worse then that is to have wild temp swings from warm to cold and back. After that...... Move to someplace you do not have to put it away for the winter, and drive it year round..... they don't melt in the rain after all.... :lol: [/QUOTE]
