Looking for some info and suggestions on storing my 1992 for the foul weather
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p> </o:p>
In the past I have washed ,waxed & treated the interior
Filled the tires to required PSI
Put the car up on jacks
Put the battery on a charger
Put a box baking soda inside
Put steel wool in the pipes
Put moth balls in a sock under the car
I also change the oil and filter ( is it best to change the oil in spring or now , if now how long before it breaks down , will I need to change it again come spring)
I do start it up several times during storage and if nice out will drive her a few miles .

What am I missing?
 
animals can climb in the air intake thru the vents on the driverside
I would either stuff it with steel wool or make sure you check it before you start the car after its been stored
 
Owners manual states oil change prior to storage.
Owners manual states to store the car with the transmission in reverse (if you have a manual).
But, follow the link docjohn supplied, there is some good information there.
