Winterizing your Boxster...

What would you guys do to your Boxster if it's going to sit in the garage for over a month or two or even three?
Battery Tender? (which one)

Rev Al,

I have stored my Boxster for 2 winters so far, soon be #3 in about as many weeks. My car sits from mid October till early April. I have followed about 90% of this stuff, with great success:

Mid October through April is a long time! Also in Chicago, I store mine Dec 1st - April 1st.

Is it better to change the oil before storage or after storage?

I've always done it after storage...

Interesting. I've always purged the oil after storage! Sounds like I need to do the opposite and I can't afford to do both.
