5) Remove battery, bring inside, attach a small trickle charger.
I'm in Minnesota, where it actually gets COLDER than most of the populated areas of AK.
**Do you want to run your car all of the next year on oil that's been sitting for 6 months in subzero temps? Or do you want to start the year on fresh oil?

Never leave one of these cars on jack stands for months, even Porsche has a TSB warning against doing this.
NEVER store a car with used oil, the water and acids in the oil will foster corrosion while it is in storage. Always change the oil
before storing the car.
