Unscarredrx7

What do i need to do when I am storing the car for the winter? Do i need to unplug battery? Add something to the gas? Drain the gas?

I'm new to owning an fd and need to know all the steps I should take since it will be put away for 5 months....

I don't have a garage, but this year I'm able to park it in one. This is what I do every year:

• Wash + Wax
• Full tank of gas + Fuel Stabilizer
• Inflate all 4 Tires to max psi (I don't have a spare set of wheels to let them sit on)
• Pull out battery and put on a battery tender
• Car Cover

I replace my summer coolant (which is mostly water) with 100% glycol (or similar), i.e. get rid of any water in the system that can corrode things when sitting

If it's sitting a long time without starting, maybe squirt some oil in the plug holes and turn over a couple time with the fuel pump disengaged

I leave the battery in the car and connected while on the tender. Never an issue. It keeps the memory in the stereo and makes it easier to start periodically and move.
