-#Change the oil before storing.
-#If possible, keep tires off the ground. Major advantages are not to stress the tires, another being less area for rodents to grab and climb upon. Use jackstands to accomplish this.
-#Check anti-freeze for proper freeze protection.
-#Add fuel stabilizer.
-#Place cardboard or newspaper under the car to highlight any leaks that may develop while in storage.
-#Clean and treat interior to prevent cracking.
-#For long term storage , use a product known as fogging oil....it is in a spray can and you spray it down the intake while running at a high idle then you finally allow the engine to choke down and die.  This will coat everything in the upper cylinders with a light lubricant.
