Default Winter storage questions...

I finally found a 4x4 that I will be picking up tuesday this week, now I can put my Z in hibernation mode.

What should I do? I've heard varying ways, ie full or low gas tank, cover, jacks on wheels or no jacks, etc. I already have gotten the oil changed and will be cleaning/waxing the car prior to a cover... Anything else?

Battery? Baking soda? Silicon packs? I will be pulling it out every now and again to show to potential buyers, so I don't want to completely disable the car.

When I used to store my bikes, I would drain the tank as best I could, Change the engine oil first. Then disconnect the battery and put the tire on plywood.

Seems like a car would be about the same. Although, maybe a fuel additive would be good to have. I have no experience with them though.

In my mind, the critical things in order of importance are the oil, and then the fuel.
