Out of Winter Storage
Does anyone remove spark plugs and turn the engine over to get a bit of oil circulating in the engine before the 1st start up after hibernation? I never have in my other winter storage cars, but they were not my special babies. May or may not be worth the trouble. What's your thoughts on this?
Thanks!!!! |

Nope...not part of my routine. I didn't get a chance to change the oil before winter so I'll do it shortly after taking it out of storage. Keeping an eye on my lead levels so I'm curious what the analysis would show.
Will probably do the diff fluid at the same time. I got 2 bottles last summer but hadn't swapped it yet.

Thanks to all your responses. I most likely will follow your advice. Pulling plugs that have been seated for many years can cause MAJOR problems. |

Got home yesterday at 3:00. Unloaded the van, disconnected the battery tender, removed cover, removed moth balls, checked oil level, aired tires ( didn't need much, all @ 32#) Fired 'er up, dusted off 'er while warming. 4:00---YYEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAA !!!!!!!

(side note w/ a plug- for those of you like me in northern climates storing in an unheated garage, couldn't recommend the CarBag more, worked out so great, I had mine in hibernation for 6 months without an issue)
