If your like me and stop driving your car at the first salt- on streets. Do you run your engine every couple of weeks as I do to keep oils and coolant circulating.
I run mine 30 to 40 minutes with heater on-usually pulling out of garage on a dry day to rotate weight on tires.
I use stabilizer in the gas (stabil) and I use full synthetic oil yearound.

I don't....when I park my kat, I put a battery tender on it, cover and lock the garage. I don't even open the garage again until Spring.

Winter storage. Shut the garage door at night and drive the Kat the next day. New Mexico passes on Winter.

We store both of my cats in the CarBags for the winter and put a Battery Tender on them. When we get them out in the Spring, they start right up!

Ditto. The Battery Tender works great.

You might consider investing in a Car Capsule/Car Jacket/Car Bag. My Kat comes out in the Spring just as great looking as it went in.

Here's a good one for ya. When I went to start her up in April after leaving her garaged all winter, I discovered I had left the key on!!!! (Yes, King of the Idiots!) Well naturally the battery was stone dead. But I jumped her, and after a few cranks....back to life. She's been running fine since @ 14V. My car's a 4-year old with the original battery. Go mopar!

I store all the cars in the garage with the trickle chargers on them-never a problem.
Isn't winter just lovely...
One of these days I will build an addition to the house with a glass floor so I can watch TV and the cars at the same time...
