Winter question ...CANADA TEMPERATURE
Hey all....
Here in canada Winter is coming and I think that in few weeks I'll have to put my car in a garage. Is there any other things to do other the unplug the battery and put it on a warm place , wax the car , fill it up full of gaz and put it on some blocks to protect the suspension....?
I think that I'll put some WD40 on my brakes disk to prevent some rust and think that I'll unbolt my seats, my tail lamp to modify them too [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
Other things??

Rep Power: 0 Personaly I'd do a oil change, or empty the oil and put some preservative oil in the engine, without a oil filter.
Last spring, I got my oil filter blowing out when I first started my car. The mech at my dealer said it could have been cause by inert oil pressure for a long perod.
I can get more information about that, but this winter, I'll at least do good oil change, maybe two, just to make sure all / most of the used oil is out.
A good car full detailling would be appropriate too.
My advice.

Rep Power: 0 Didnt you changed your location in your profile ?
Where are you from in Beauce ? I havent seen a green Civic like your avatar in town....
Wouldnt your car be a DX,LX or SI instead of an EX ? We dont have EX in Canada...

Rep Power: 0 That's just great you're not one of thoses loosers who buy a DX and crank it up with stickers and unappropriate emblems [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I cant wait to see your car! What about a small meeting in Quebec Area, fill up the parliament frontside and take pictures 
I have a Canadian LX... that is about an EX without the engine.. wich I am looking for actualy, you know where I can get one ? You said you are looking to swap your engine when this one will die.. what about selling it to me before it does
Drop me a line for the meeting if you think it is a good idea!

Rep Power: 0 Rider...my family stores cars very year. Revove the battery. Fill up with he highest octane you can..prefeably esso..(has alot f additives that keep the fuel stable). put a box of partly opend bakng soda in the car (n the sping it won't smell as moldy. and Start the car up every 2-3 weeksand run it untill it gets warm. Otherwise the oil rings may rust.
