-Park on a sheet of plastic- painters tarp from Home Depot.
-Desiccators in the cabin- keeps air fresh and protects leather and wood.
-Block wheels, don't use e-brake.
-Manually turn engine over in the spring by pushing in 5th gear. You will hear the engine turn over and take big gulps of air.
-I move the car the beginning of every month, by hand, about 10 inches. Further prevents flatspotting.
-First drive of the spring is about 350 miles, and then buy fresh gas.

Wow, I take the tires up to 50 and throw in fuel stabile... and drop the insurance to storage level. And this year I get to put on a used car cover. Maybe I'm not doing enough? I do use a 78% Nitrogen mix for the tires.

Your owners manual tells you to change the oil and run the engine for several minutes before storage.

The same owner manual recommends oil changes at 15,000 miles. I have chosen to be selective about the service & maintenance requirements. Some I'm more strict, others I choose to ignore.

But thank you.
