Storing Car through Winter
Hi,
I would think this topic has been discussed before, but searching for "winter" didn't give me any results.
Anyway, I plan to store my car in the garage for the winter, anything special I need to do?
I have heard:
1. Fill up gas tank
2. Disconnect battery
3. Fill tires to max pressure
Any others? Would gasoline stablizer harm the engine?
Thanks.

trickle charger for the battery
A trickle charger will keep the battery conditioned. Will the car be in or outside? In either case a good wash/wax(zaino) and quality cover would not hurt. Some folks cover exhaust outlets to keep critters out, you can decide if that's needed or not dependent on your specific conditions and location.
