thx guys

is it better to change fluids before storage, or afterwards?

also, any recommended brand for fuel stabilizer? is crappy tire ok?
ok in particular... i thought that i was supposed to change the coolant, brake and so forth, before storage

the motor oil part i believe the general consensus is before and after

but what about the others?

PS - when are you guys storing your cars? i'm thinking this weekend

I didn't store the S until end of November last year - mainly due to illness.

It snowed as I was driving to put it away

Coolant does not need to be changed until 160k.
Brake Fluid and Clutch Fluid should be done every 2 years regardless
Transmission fluid and rear diff fluid can be done after winter but its not as important as it is sealed.

Engine oil is the big thing because leaving older motor oil inthe engine, the contaminates in the motor oil can increase in acidity which in turn is not good for engine parts.


Spring time comes, i change ALL the fluids regardless...Motor oil, Coolant, brake fluid, trans and diff etc...
