my monte will be going away for nine months in a non climate controlled barn. i will be putting it in a car capsule that has a fan to help prevent rust.

some questions i have are:
Should i ad anything to the Gas, Oil, tranny fluid?
Should i strip the wax off, leave the wax on?
I will be putting the stock tires back on, is there anything i should do to prevent dryrot?
Also any other suggestions?

thanks for any help

 

hmmm im no expert, but id say it would probably be best to leave the wax on... because u think it would protect it right??

but why is your monte going away for 9 months???

 

i wouldn't drain the oil... add some fuel stablizer by STP to the tank... whys it going away for 9 months?

 

Hi Luke,

Below are some links that should answer a lot of your questions.
After the 9 month storage will there be a baby Monte ? LOL
Good Luck at school this year.

A breathable car cover will work just fine. No need to monkey with a fan. Do not trap moisture with a capsule.

Put another coat of wax on, do not drain oil. Consider jacking car up on jackstands, so you wont flat spot the tires. Most of the time flat spots come out of radials, not always.

I highly recomend gold eagle "sta-bil" gas stabilizer. Leave gas tank full to keep out moisture.

I have years of experience putting away an old trans am ionly drove from may to sept. I learned what to do and not what to do.

 

i will be going to college so the monte will be going into storage instead of taking it with me to college.

also thanks for all the info space
