How to "hibernate" my Z

mults

Living in Cleveland, this is a yearly ritual for at least 5 months during the winter. I've used a fuel additive (Sea Foam) with a full tank of gas, I place the car on wheel dollies (I have to move the car to the rear of the garage), I make sure the oil has been changed and the battery is fully charged and then I install a battery tender. In the many, many years that I have been doing this with motorcycles and cars, I have NEVER had any issues with the vehicle starting in the spring.

I do wash and throw a good coat of wax on the "old girl" before I put her under the car cover. Once last thing that I do is to place a styrofoam (or similar material) cup in the exhaust tips to make sure no critters get too comfortable.

To me, 2 - 3 months is nothing. If you do have someone start the car every few weeks, make sure they run it long enough to get it to operating temperature. This will heat the exhaust enough to get rid of any moisture and the engine as well. Good luck.
