How To Store Your Car For The Winter (Avoid These Mistakes)

Good video! As I have done every year for the last 8, the insurance came off the Corvette (fire and theft still on, of course) on November 1, did a thorough wash job on the last warm day, put in the fuel stabilizer and put fabric softener sheets around in the interior, which apparently rodents don't like the smell of, plus put steel wool into the exhaust tips. I run a battery charger through the cigarette lighter but with a Corvette you pretty much have to do that if the car is only sitting for a week. Although in previous years I always filled the tank, GM has recommended not doing that, feeling the condensation issue is overrated and having all that weight sitting is not so good. When I told a leading Corvette expert that I don't start the car for the six months it is stored, he thought it would be better to run the car once a month but not just to idle it but go out for 15-20 minutes. I have not had any issues just leaving it and prefer to just do that rather than plow my street in Ottawa with it!

VERY timely video! I'm about to tuck in my '07 Vantage for the winter. Glad you cleared up the thing about periodically starting it. I always thought that it would do more harm than good, and you confirmed it!

That thing is beautiful especially those wheels

I store my Mustang over the winter and have started it about once a month in the past to avoid the oil condensation issue, but you seem to be in the more majority of opinions that doing that does more harm than good. I typically change my oil in the fall, because thats when I hit about 4k miles. Not sure how much the condensation issue really is if you leave it sit for 4 months but I don’t really want to waste money and change my oil again in the spring ha. It’s probably fine.

Great video

Is there a diesel stabilizer

So you should change the oil before driving it?

Doesn't the battery lose capacity if it's always charging?

I top off my tank and apply a fresh coat of wax to my laguna seca M3 and it sits out in my carport till spring 😞

You with hagerty?

I just spray anti freeze on my car and go on vacation.
