Hi,

I usually leave my car in a ready-to-run state over the winter, that is I
tune it up and change the oils etc. I don't run it at all during the
winter unless I need to move it out of or back into the garage. But that's
only when I need space for a "project".

If I do run the car over the winter, I use the "severe duty" oil change
schedule and change the oil in the spring before I start driving it again.

The only problem that I ever have are related to the battery draining down
and I usually pull the battery a couple of times over the winter and put
it on the charger.

There's probably as many ideas on how to store your car as there are cars!
