 Vehicle Storage - Many vehicles sit for extended periods of time. Motorhomes, antique vehicles, show cars, hot rods, motorcycles and even lawn mowers are parked for the winter as owners pack up their memories of summer fun.

Boat Storage. An oil change is one of the most important aspects of engine maintenance and winterization. Acids can build up in used oil and cause corrosion if allowed to remain in the engine during storage.

Boat Storage Tips
While some areas of the globe allow year round boating, most of us have to consider boat storage during the winter months. Here are tips for winterising your boat.
Fuel Tank
You don't want condensation happening in the fuel tank, rusting it out from the inside. Fill up the tank so it's protected by the fuel, and add in a stabilizer to help it last the long winter months. Change out the filter and water separator while you're in there.
Engine
Put in fresh oil and a fresh filter if appropriate. Flush the system completely with fresh water and grease as appropriate.
Bilges and Water Systems
Rinse out completely. Add non-toxic antifreezes to maintain systems through cold weather.
Interior
Remove everything you can for cleaning and repairs during the off season. Put in a dehumidifyer or other dehumidifying products to keep mold and mildew from forming.
Out of water boat storage is of course best, but can be costly. If you are keeping your boat in the water, be sure to check on it regularly and if ice is forming around it, buy a de-icing device to keep it from harming the boat.
