Re: Winter Storage Checklist
I'm just a newbie to car storage, but I thought the pads were to prevent flat spots on the tires. I just picked up 4 rubber tiles, like the ones you can find @ the gym to absorb the shock of people dropping weights on the floor.
Changed the oil today for the first time. It was a rather painless procedure thanks to everyone's previous "how to" posts. I used a hand pump from Harbor Freight with the tubes slightly modified to take the oil out. Everything done in 45 minutes. I did end up using an oil filter from Fram. It's a paper filter, so I'll probably replace in 3 months and switch to a fleece filter when I take her out of the garage in May.
Thank God for the sudden 40 degree "heatwave" in Western NY.
