My 2001 Chevy Impala has twenty thousand miles on it. Before I left for a two year trip in Europe I filled the gas tank up added a fuel preservative then changed the oil with Castrol edge professional 10w30 synthetic oil then took each spark plugs out and sprayed a fogging oil in each cylinder then kept a automatic trickle charger to the battery . Then I jacked up the car to keep pressure on tires to a minimum. When I returned home the car started as if has been always driven. Great Video!

Gasoline is hydroscopic because ethanol Absorbs moisture from the Air; When the water saturation threshold is met "Phase Separation" occurs causing the water to sink to the bottom of the tank where it causes corrosion in gas tanks and carburetors. Products like (Sta-Bil) and (K100 Fuel Treatment) help prevent phase separation and in some cases reverses the affect (Fuel Emulsification) enough for the "Bad Gas" to be burned in the engine. It is good practice to use Sta-Bil in any fuel system that's going to sit for three months or more.

Agree on all points. While oils have acid neutralizers as part of the add pack, there is no sense in not having fresh oil in there for the winter nap. Fill the tank as full as possible. I use Techron Marine for an add. Supposedly good for 2 years at that point, but certainly good enough for a 4 or 5 month winter layover. Also, a battery smart charger, to keep the battery happy, and all other maintainence done. Wash, wax, park, leave it be until that first good day for a trip to the local joint for a burger and a root beer. If the oil geek says it, you can rest assured it's good advice.

After 40+ years in the aftermarket & dealers as a tech, I changed jobs the landed me with Delco. We had two meetings per year and spoke with the two guys who wrote software for GM vehicles equipped with this. They took the same approach with one engine, samples, 3rd party testing, compression, fuel mapping at 2,400 RPM, and dozens more until they logged 2,000 hrs. This equates to just at 2K of run time. They admitted to being very conservative display numbers which include low temp, 8 minute drive cycles near the end of the testing. A gallon of straight ethanol will hold 7 tablespoons of water but amount several but reduces the molecular size to pass thru injectors. I disconnect the vehicles battery, clean and apply dielectric grease. 7-8 in-lbs is proper torque I believe. I have volt meters, trickle chargers and a conductance tester. I test once a month roughly. Extended mix on a full tank is best, but not over full. Nitrogen in tires helps keep rim to bead corrosion way down. Retired.

For winter storage, you also want to wash and wax or coat your car. Then drive it to get more water and soap from the wash evaporated. Don't cover it unless you create a lot of dust in your garage. Overinflate your tires somewhat to reduce flat spotting and put a good battery maintainer on your battery. If it gets extremely cold in your garage, remove the battery and store it at a reasonable temperature. Replace the engine and cabin air filters while you're at it, and clean the interior glass. You will be ready to go in the spring with minimal effort.

@Kowalski301 5 ай бұрын

Good post, but I disagree about the battery. Lead acid batteries store much better in cold. In fact even better below freezing(!) due to much lower self discharge. However, it's super important that there is no vampire drains. A digital clock or alarm in a car is enough to drain it in a few months. But if you disconnect the battery, make sure it's clean, charge it full and leave it somewhere cold, like in fridge temp, you can leave it alone for almost 2 full years and maintain over 75-80% SOC. In 25C the same battery can sit for only 6-9 months without needing charge.

I've heard that some simply measure the difference between oil restriction before the filter & after & calculates restriction (older chevys)..... others claim vehicles like the Ram use a more sophisticated set of readings that actually change oil life as driving conditions, speed, load, temperatures change, stop n go vs highway miles.... I myself DO notice it change depending on my weekly travels... if I'm loaded heavy most of the week doing around town it'll change faster than if i put 600 miles of highway loaded just as heavy.

Always remember, "where air goes, water goes". Powersports like ATV, motorcycles and Jet Skis usually have a petcock to shut off fuel. Most owners, run the carbs dry and that is a no no. You want to keep the air and moisture out of the carbs and keep the seats and o-rings wet. Your advice to fill the tank is correct, but you do need to leave a small air gap for expansion especially if you use a heated storage area. The fuel will expand and push gas through the carbs into the engine. Turn the petcock to off if you have one. Don't forget to run the engine after fuel treatment. Many people forget to do this leaving the fuel and components in the system after the tank remain unprotected. You did not mention fogging oils. I like to fog 2 stroke engines through the induction system to coat the crank and lower bearings in addition to the cylinder walls. On 4 strokes, I spray fogging oil through the spark plug holes and spin the motor to distribute. You are correct, never start a motor in storage, but I do recommend spinning the motor over to keep the cylinder walls and rings coated. Great video, keep up the good work.

Agree & (respectfully) Disagree: 100% agree on your gas storage recommendations & fall oil changes. Disagree (partially) on leaving car alone. 100% agree running it for a few minutes (or less) is bad & exactly for the reasons you stated. My belief is if your going to start it, let it warm up completely, 20 minutes minimum or better yet take it for a drive to warm everything up, weather permitting. Another reason to not leave it alone is old cars with brake wheel cylinders tend to go bad if the brakes aren’t pushed a few times ideally do it monthly while in storage. I’ve seen a lot of guys wheel cylinders fail over winter when not “exercised”. Great videos & very informative!!
