Hi,
Does any one have any suggestions on how to wakeup the car after the winter sleep ?
This is a summary of what I've read (not in any particular order):
1.- Don't forget to change the insurance to full liability+comprenhensive+collision - In case you switch it to fire & theft only during the winter storage to save a lot $$$$
2.- Remove the fuel pump relay and let the motor crank until the light goes off
3.- Check tire pressure and readjust
4.- Change the oil and filter
5.- Let it idle for 2 minutes then drive the car, easy at first so it builds up some heat.
6.- Recharge battery and reinstall
Questions:
1.- Can I drive the car with 6 month old fuel and stabil or should I drain it ? (I hope not cause gas is expensive and the mower won't use that much)
Oil change has to be done before the car starts or within the first 100 Km ?
2.- Should I take the spark plugs out and spray some SW40 (or whatever is called) in the cylinders holes ?
Should I manually turn the motor a complete cycle ?
3.- If you live in Southern Alberta: will you drive the car this weekend? The weather couldn't be any better..
Thanks
