Winter Setup - Need Help!
#16
I bought my G Coupe this summer and unfortunately I will be driving the car in the winter. It's getting to be late september and I am starting to think about what I will have to do to prep my car for the winter.
2.) Oil
I don't know too much about car engines but I was wondering if it would be better to use a certain type of oil for cold winter months. The previous owner of my car religiously used Mobil 1 syn and I have kept that going since I bought the car but I was wondering what the best type of oil to use would be. Or, should I just stick to using the Mobil 1 syn?

3.) Rust protecion
I live in upstate NY (Rochester) and we can get a LOT of snow sometimes...up to 10-15" in one night is not unheard of here. Since we get so much snow our town likes to use a LOT of salt. I was wondering if anyone has done any rust protection to their car to protect the undercarrage of the car. My previous car was a honda prelude and I had to fix the exhaust of the car multiple times due to holes created by rust and I don't want that to happen to my G. Has anyone seen positive benefits to doing this?

4.) Body protection
I plan on keeping my car clean and waxed during the winter but are there any special types of waxes meant for winter protection?
I know that I have a lot of questions but I appreciate any input anyone has. Thanks in advance!

Tires... I use all seasons (Hankook H727 or H418) and have had zero problems in the ice/snow. Today I'm running 235/55/17's all around, but a 245 will fit the rears easily.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
