Re: My car is ready..... (Petah)

To make this tech related and because I'm interested, what all does getting her ready for winter involve?

Depends how **** you want to be. Some say drain the oil, others say leave it because gaskets will dry out without it.

I'd disengage the clutch, put it on blocks (or crappy tires but blocks are preferable), flush the radiator fluid and give it a solid waxing before hand.

As for the arguement of full gas tank vs. empty, I'm impartial. Personally I see no harm in leaving a full tank.

Gas stabilizer is a must thought if you plan on letting it sit for months.
