| Change the trans fluid and filter (if auto trans), rear differential oil, flush and refill the cooling system, lubricate all the zerk fittings (especially the steering and drive shaft) and get a new PCV valve. Check the tires and brakes. | |||||

| I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT with the 3.0L V6. It has 65,500 original miles. No rust. Runs good. I know that it has only had general maintenance (i.e. oil change, air filter) No other fluids changed. Original spark plugs. What should or shouldn't be done. I want to avoid unintended consequences. Thanks Tim from ME | |||||

| Maybe pull the battery and put it on a maintainer as well. That's about all I can think of, two months isn't all that long for a car to sit, especially in a garage. | |||||

| Put fuel stabilizer in to be safe, and a full tank fresh gas the day you leave and it should be fine, it's only goibg to be sitting for two months. | |||||

| Answer to: Vehicle winter storage | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| A good plan would be to fill the fuel tank and put fuel stabilizer in, then drive it around a little to get the stabilizer up into the fuel lines. Gasoline breaks down and gels up over time, and the stabilizer will keep it from doing that over the winter. It'll also hold off oxidation. Filling the tank will keep moisture out as well. You'll probably want to change the oil right before you park it for the winter as well, that way the oil pan has nothing corrosive, etc. Hanging out all winter. | |||||

| Hi I do like your channel. I believe we need more mechanics and people like you. I have a 2010 mustang v6 4.0 L convertible. Slow but fun car. I got it 2 years ago and I like to know more about your suggestions on storing it for winter. I have a cover and I put it in garage. Some questions come to mind when to do oil change? After or before winter? Synthetic or not for this car? Gas additives? Start it over winter or not? Move it so tires do not get flat spots? And more. also what are your thoughts on this car? Keep it or upgrade it. Unfortunately it is an automatic. 160k Km. thx for help. | |||||

| Cover the Mazda, take battery out and put it on the trickle charger. I’d also find somewhere you can store it safely since you said you don’t have a garage. Tires may develop a flat spot but when I’ve been oversees for months at a time I get back and the tires are still good. | |||||

| Hi Scotty, I need some advice. I live in Rhode Island. I am retiring this year and have purchased a home in Florida where I will be spending 6 months out of the year in the winter. I don't want to transport my vehicles back and forth between the houses and plan to have one vehicle in Rhode Island and one in Florida. Would you recommend a car cover for the Miata? What would be the best way to maintain the battery, leave it in, trickle charge, take it out? Will the tires develop a flat spot? Ask a neighbor to run them once in a while? I don't have a garage at either location. Basically looking for any advice you could give me on the best way to store a vehicle for 6 months. Thanks. Love your video's, I have learned a lot. | |||||
