Question regarding storage
Hey all,
I got a 2005 GT and I put her into storage for the winter....and I am looking for advice on what to do with it. Do I need to start it up regularly? And if so, how often and how long and so on. I am new at this as you can tell, so any advice is well welcomed. Also anything else I should do while its in storage would be great as far as upkeep and stuff, if anything.
Thanks in advance guys

Add some Sta-bil with your final fill up and drive it for awhile to get into the system. After that only two words..........Battery Tender. Just got mine washed and into storage today.

I wouldn't worry about starting it. Just make sure you keep the battery fully charged somehow. Ideally you would want to keep the battery in a warm place like your house,or if the car is in a heated space it will be fine. Cold seems to kill batteries.

Starting it up periodically does more harm than good, unless you actually take it for a spin to warm it right through.
Fuel Stabil, Batt tender, dust cover, tires at 40psi. Should be good to go.

I have to store mine outside. I will have it covered and the battery stored in the basement. Should I still put the psi up to 40?

Perfect, thanks guys for all the advice. Its kept in a fairly warm garage so hopefully itll be ok, I have to go pick up some of that sta-bil tommorow and get it into the system before it snows again.
What about the sta-bil fogging oil? Is that required or not as important?
