How To Store Your Car For Winter

Many car owners take extra care during winter by storing their vehicles to prevent damage. Here are some key steps involved in maintaining a car during this time.

Location

Avoid leaving your car outside in the elements. If no space is available at home, find a storage facility with no humidity and brick flooring to prevent rust and damage. Place a tarp underneath to protect against moisture if using a dirt floor.

Change Oil

Engine oil reduces friction and prevents overheating, but it accumulates contaminants over time. To avoid sludge buildup during winter, replace the old oil with fresh oil, saving time when the car is brought out of storage.
