Need advice for winterizing dsm.

[novatsi]

Sup, I would like to prep my car winter storage. What are some of the things one could do ensure a proper storage? Some of things I did were I drained my engine oil, radiator fluid, but what else should I do besides that?

i added a bottle of sta-bil engine stabilizer, topped off the gas tank, unplugged the battery, and covered it. thats all.

I would leave the radiator fluid in there as it acts as a rust inhibitor and with an iron block that can be important, just make sure it'll take the cold weather you're expecting, a cracked block is a PITA

fill the gas tank and put stabilizer in it, if you don't the gas tank can get condensation in it and thats not good for the tank or your engine.

the best thing you can do for a battery is unplug it and keep it somewhere warm, under your bed or whatever just so it doesn't suffer the horrible winter heat.

if you really want to keep your car in top shape you can put it on jackstands so that all the suspension is unloaded and hte tires don't flat spot but its certainly not neccesary
