Re: Winter Parking Preparations
Burrrrr
All I ever have to do when I get ready to park is select the appropriate
gear and turn the motor off.

Re: Winter Parking Preparations
You can buy engine storage fogging spray, not sure how this would work on a
injected engine but on cabs, you spray this stuff directly into the intake
and spray until the engine stalls out. This is something like the stuff but
NOT the stuff I use on my old cars.
