Hibernation Time -- Quick Q's

Zyonara91

1) Clean the car inside and outside

2) Inflate tires to 40 PSI just to be safe

3) Change oil and filter

4) Go to gas station and put in some 91 ethanol free gas and fuel stabilizer

5) Drive car to get up to temp

6) Put steel wool in the exhaust pipe

7) Hook up to battery tender

8) Use a cheese grater to grate some irish spring soap to put on the mats in the car to keep a fresh smell and potential critters out

9) Put stoppers on back tires and front tires with the parking brake disengaged and the car in neutral


10) I do not use a car cover, I just use quick detail spray while the car is in the garage and if it accumulated dust that isn't to my liking

11) Periodically come into the garage and stare a the car wondering why you didn't enjoy it more in the nice weather and count the days down

Also DO NOT start the car up unless you will be getting it up to temps also cancel insurance so that it stops on the first of the month or whatever day you started it.

Wash and wax the Z. Drive into the garage. Put on the battery tender. Suspend insurance. Cover with bed sheets. Start on winter project. Remove sheets as needed. My garage is in my basement. So it's 68F to 70F year round.

I do most of what is in this thread, except I put in more than 40psi. Living in a colder climate area, I put in at least 45psi (max is like 51 I think). Figure, you lose 1 psi for every 10 degree temp drop and lose 1 psi about every month.. Going with only 40, I'd probably be back to normal 35psi by January with at least 3 more months of storage remaining..
Probably doesn't make much of a difference anyways.. just throwing it out there.
I think it was mentioned to fill the tank with gas (+ Stabil).. filling is also supposed to help in reducing the amount of air exposure to the fuel..
