To all Gen.1 & Gen.2 Solaras, winter storage questions
Alright guys I hate to talk about winter and I know some of you live in the south side and don't even have winter lol but...
I am storing the Solara from November to March. The winter in Montreal is really harsh, some times it gets -20 to even -30C (around -20 F)! with A LOT of snow. And the bad news is I don't have access to the garage during the winter. I will be most likely leaving it in on my driveway.
So what is the best to store the car outside? Put a car cover and start the car 2-3 times a week?
Also, do I have to change the oil before AND after? I know the 1mz is subject to serious sludge problems. How can I prevent sludge when storing the car?
Any advice would be appreciated.
