Thanks for the notion of putting the transmission into neutral (compared to being in park) when idling it every 4 or 6 weeks. That is really valuable to know. Great information. That is what makes you guys on this forum such a treat!

Best,

That looks like a good battery 'Float' charger. It did not give any specs so I found some on another site. This looks good to me and I might buy one.

I would put around 40 psi in the tires, what you have is only just above the factory specs. I move the car back and forth during the winter to limit the flat spots as well.
My Garage only just gets below freezing on the coldest days. So it does not see extreme temperature drops.
