i have read all the threads for winter storage which is approx 5-7 months depending on where you live. what should i do differently if im storing for 1 1/2 yrs? please help thnx

 

Only thing I've heard about storing for such a long time is putting the car on blocks and taking the wheels off. This will eliminate suspension slag and peppermint wheel obstruction. Read this on some other thread.

 

Also use so type of product so your gasoline don't get water or something like that that is sold in any Auto parts store. also disconnect battery.

Take out of the inside of the car whatever you don't need to be there.

A good wax job will help also.

 

that my friend is Z abuse, no attention for 1 1/2 years!

 

give it to me, ill take care of her!

 

Man, that is a long time to leave gas, oil, other fluids sitting. If you don't get good answers here search on net or call a service dept.

 

thnx for all you input. i know 1 1/2 yrs is sickening the thought of it right now when its 70 degrees sunny day and no z. me and wife just bought a new truck and i started a new job where i took a huge pay cut so need to save where i can and z is a no no in snow and for a possible child in near future. but its better than selling and never having her around to drive at all right? thnx again more advice by others would be appreciated

 

If you could drain the gas tank completely I'd do that.

 

Can't you put in garage? Or leave under a cover to at least start once in awhile? Or you have no room at all and the Z needs to be put away.

 

when you drive the car into storage, jack it up, put it on blocks. Also drain ALL fluids including gas, oil, coolant, windsheild wiper fluid. Only thing left undrained would probably be the clutch & power steering fluid.

Make sure to clog your tail pipes and make sure fresh rat poisen is in the storage unit. Your biggest problem is going to be rats laying nests in your engine bay. Good luck with things, thats a long time to store a brand new car you want to turn over when you get back into it.

 

thnx for your help. btw its not new its an 03 and i just bought a new truck for the wife and possibly kids soon. the z hates the winter here and so do i. need to store it.

fort the op up top i am storing it in a garage but i heard its not good to start it up every once in a while it creates condensation in the oil tank and gas tank etc. i wish it were that easy but i think its more involved. i would hate to have to drain all the fluids but its looking like i am going to have to thnx again fellas
