saratogasc400 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I stored a car over the winter and I'm curious if there is anything special I need to do to get it ready for the spring restart. I stored it according advice from the Porsche Club of America. i.e. gas stabilizer, overinflating tires, super cleaning before storing, covering exhaust, topping off/ changing fluids. the car has stored inside, covered, but not heated. What should I do to make sure the restart is smooth without any damage? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 you could go as far as putting a cap full of oil in each spark plug hole but i dont think its really needed. what you can that might be a good idea if you go that far is while you have the plugs out crank the engine to get the oil primed. but then again its a toyota it will run forever hehe!

UCF3 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 that's true, it's a Toyota, not a Porsche. as long as you've changed the old oil, it should turn over. Just check your battery terminals for corrosion build-up and start it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
