Can someone list some steps that should be taken to store my '90 for the winter??

Or maybe point me to a site that details what to do...

Thanks for your help...

Thanks for the tip!

So what is the consensus on starting it once a month or not starting it at all till the spring.

I was under the impression that it was better not touch it till it got warm out again.

Also I am going to change the oil and then store it till spring - do I need to change the oil again in the spring or is that an unneeded step???

Thanks

Run it every 2 weeks and not just run it, but drive it around the block a couple of times, to get all fluids (steering, brake etc not just oil) up to operating temps.Change the oil before AND after a winter storage

yea, buy one of those big vacuum bags "AS SEEN ON TV", roll your car into, pump all the air out, and vacuum seal your car in the garage, : D
