Winter Storage
 
Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and have a question about winter storage. My 08 mustang is in the garage for the winter, is there anything I should do to protect it from sitting all winter. I am going to add some fuel stabilizer for sure. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Lloyd

Well, one thing I started doing was trickle charging my battery for the season.

I let it sit and charge over and over for the whole winter season.

I've also have gotten into a habit of putting down mouse traps, not poison. **DO NOT USE POISON** Last thing you need is a mouse crawling up into its next in your vent and dying.... disaster...

Put the car up on blocks

It also seems like a good idea to start it up once a month and let it run for a bit. This is where the trickle charging will help too, keeping that cranking power at its peak.

Garage. Stabil. Roll it back and forth. Lastly, lots of polish:tup

Sounds good, I just had paint sealant applied at a local detail shop before it went into storage. Take care, Lloyd:tup

Oddly enough, I have never used any gas stabilizer in any of my cars, ever.

I have one word KROWN!
Rust proof it and but junk tires on it or block it up.
