Seasonal Tips - Colder Weather

[Anker]

As for rodents I place mouse poison at all four wheels and I also put mothballs on trunk, frunk and cabin. May add in engine compartment this coming winter. Stuff is working, I have to replenish the poison a couple of times and have had no mouse damage at all.

I live in NY and try to drive the car once a week in the winter, unless there is snow or salt on the roads. Dryer sheets placed around the car can help deter rodents, they don’t like the smell. You can suff that, and steel wool into your exhaust pipe too. Plastic under the car is a good idea to make a vapor barrier as well, especially if you park another wet car next to it, or a thawing snowblower. I change my oil in December after the autocross, rally season ends. Also check your anti-freeze and tire pressures. Bump them up to prevent flat spotting. Replace your summer tires with all season tires. Parking brake off. Leave it in gear. I put mine on a trickle charger. Attach to the battery. Run the cable through the hood at the windshield, and close the frunk. That’s all I do after filling the tank.

Check your tire pressures if you continue to drive as well as store. The colder weather will cause the tires to lose a few lbs if they're not filled with nitrogen.
