Default Winter storage

I followed all the steps from the winter storage list found on this site, The only thing I am not sure of is whether or not to use an oil fogger. I changed the oil before I stored it, I used Red Line 10w30 because it is supposed to coat the engine parts. Am I covered or should I use a fogger also. The car will be started and used this coming spring. Thanks

Cars have been stored for up to 6 months without "fogging". Spring is not that far off. If you are really worried about a "dry" start in the spring, pull the fuel pump fuse and crank the engine over for about 10 to 15 seconds before putting the fuse back in and firing it up for the first time. It's not that crucial.

Stored it every winter,(+/-5 a months/year)never used a fogger,never had problems.
Just shut it down,and start it next spring;don't play with it,every week or so.!!!
