Storing car for winter, what to do?

Re: Storing car for winter, what to do?
Since you don't know how old the fuel is, run it close to empty. (not too low to damage the fuel pump) Then refill it with from a brand name refiner. When you do, put stabilizer in the tank at the recommended rate. Be sure to drive it long enough to get the new fuel/ preservative mixture all through the system.
Change the oil. Get a solar trickle charger. You may want to fog the cylinders but that depends on the humidity in your area. Jack the car up so the tires are off the ground.
cover it and lock the door.

I'd start it at least every week and run it. I had no problems with mine just parking it and leaving it. I'd start mine once a month. But the opti did go from getting moisture inside from not running enough.
