Default Re: winter storing
The purpose of jacking the car up is to take the load off of the suspension, but you should put a vapor barrier between the tires and the ground so they don't draw moisture. When I store my car:
  • Fill the tank and use fuel stabilizer which I run through the injectors before it goes into storage.
  • Change the oil and filter.
  • I use a 1" perforated rubber mat under each tire, lift the car off its suspension but not so high as to have the suspension hanging.
  • Install a battery charger with a floating ground.
  • Touch up any scratches and give it a good wax.
  • Cover it with my car cover until spring.
