I do the same thing. It sits from Dec-April. Stabil in the tank, top off tank, and battery tender $59) on the battery. Do not lock! You can raise if you want on jackstands but i don't just in case there is a nice day to take it out.

 

[QUOTE=gto2050]battery tender $59QUOTE]

Which Battery Tender do you have? For $59, I'm guessing it's the 12V Battery Tender Plus.

How do you like it?

 

[QUOTE=partyman66]I love them. They work great and the company stands behind them I have 2 BT+'s and 3 BT Jr's all 12V. I use the Battery Tender Plus on the GTO and the G when not driving it and the other 3 Junior's are on motorcycles. They don't over charge the battery and really help keep them in good shape. I have had one of them for over 15 years and Deltran still stands behind the unit. They replaced it 7 years after I bought it with another one. Can't ask for better service than that!

 

No problem, I found that link very helpful when I was going to store my car for winter. I decided against it though.

 

I just put mine away last weekend and my other 2 cars last month. My G35 coupe will sit for 3 months like you. Stabil in the tank, the tank full, car washed and waxed, pull battery or charge every 5-6 weeks or trickle charge it, oil changed and tires to about 38psi. Do not waste time/money on jack stands. I've stored so many cars over the years (usually for 5-6 months) during our long winters and NEVER used them. Your tires will not "flat spot" at all. Just keep them inflated.

 

Mice, I hate them. I bought 3 cats to help me out with that problem . Best mouse traps ever! They got into my brothers mustang and did some nasty work. They also trashed my 4 wheelers. I suggest checkinging his links out. Mice can be a car/motors worst enemy. I have had great experiences with Sta-bil. But yes, jack your car up and cover it.
Thanks!

P.S Also for those who say you dont need jacks, would you rather pay for 4 new tires or just jacks that you will have many years to come, and like you said, you would like to work on your car. I think the smarts would say buy jacks not risking buying 4 new tires.
Thanks!

 

It's really not necessary unless you're storing the car for some ridiculous amount of time. 3-5 months won't mess up your tires if they're slightly overinflated when you store it. This will be my 4th winter in a row storing my car outside in the cold without lifting it and I've never had a problem with my tires when stored at 38 PSI.

 

^^yea, but I would not take that chance. Thats just me.

 

Wow, some of you guys are sure **** about storing

Me and my dad usually just drive our vehicles up onto wooden boards to prevent flat spots, and that's it. Store all my cars this way - g35, viper, z06, mustang - and no problems.
