Here is what I do every year and it works great.

Tires at about 42-45ish.

Full tank of premium with Stabil.

Battery Tender.

Wash car, then short drive to dry off the brakes. Another short drive a few hours later. The brakes really need to dry off or they will rust like crazy and stick.

Mouse traps around the floor.

Car cover on after detail spray/dedusting from last drive.

Once a month, start engine and drive up and down driveway a couple time, running engine for 20-30 minutes.


This is what all seems to work best for me. I've had a few LS engine vehicles in the past that I didn't start during the winter. Each of those had rear main seal leaks in the spring. On the cars that I start...no oil leaks in the spring. So I do what works for me. Moving the car a bit once a month will also help prevent tire flat spots and rusted brakes.
