Few questions about winter storage

apple

Hi there
I've read many garage articles about winter storage and I  have a few question:
1) How much fogging oil should I spray into each cylinders. It comes in a spray can, so it is 10 seconds worth of oil in each, 20?
2) Should I replace the plugs after putting the fogging oil?
3) How do I quot;Spin the engine over a few times by handquot; so that the oil goes everywhere? By starting the engine?
4) Once winter is done, will the fogging oil mix without harm with the engine oil or do I need to do something special with the fogging oil that is now in the engine? I guess a oil change...
5) There seems to be contradictory information about jacking up the car on carjacks so the tires do not get flat spots. Should I or shouldn't I? One article says to do so and another says absolutely not. me=confused. I plan to have it stored for 4 or 5 months, max. I could increase tire pressure to 40lbs?
Thanks all for helping out.

All you need to do is fill up the tank, put a little stable in the fuel, and pull the battery.  
Adding additional air won't hurt, but isn't really nevessary.  You don't need to remove the wheels of fog the engine.

The last 2 winters that I have owned my Miata, I have not used any fogging oil.  I did an oil and filter change and filled the gas tank including adding Stabil to the gas.  I let the engine run a while so the Stabil gets through the system.
I don't put the car on jack stands.  Instead I inflate the tires to 40 psi to eliminate flat spotting.  I store indoors in a rented storage unit which has a nice level concrete floor so I can leave the parking brake off without worrying about the car rolling.  I also hook up a battery tender to the battery.  I plug the intake and exhaust openings with steel wool to keep the critters out and then put a cover over the car.
I haven't had any problems with it come spring time.  I don't do anything to the car all winter other than rolling it a couple feet every once in a while, again to help prevent the tires from flat spotting.

I forgot to add that if you do decide to use fogging oil, when you start the car the first time next spring it will smoke like crazy until the fogging oil burns off but will not cause any issues.  I used to fog my boat engine, years back.

LIke posted above.  Do a oil and filter change.  Drive to get gas fill it up.  Add some Stabil to it and drive home.  Park in the place for the winter.  Add some air to the tires if you can.  Wad up some steel wool in the muffler and intake.  If you have a battery tender put it on, if not just disconnect the battery.  If you do that make sure you have the radio code if it has one so in the spring it will work, otherwise it will think it was pulled out of the car and need the code to work like it was stolen and connected in another car.

Experts up here in Minnesota do the minimum:  Dryer sheets, 40lbs in tires, and fuel stableizer.  Some guys on this site are a bit anal about this.  Your car will be just fine.  I'm planning running mine a few times when the roads aren't too bad.

I turn off all electrical components, drive the car in the garage and thats it. Like HPM above, I try to drive it around the block a couple of times during the winter when the weather permits.
The original battery lasted 14yrs witout being on a charger and the EPD AGM erplacement is wirking just fine with the same treatment. Been doing this well over a decade and no problems sofar, LOL wish me luck.

I use a tennis ball to plug the tail pipe.  I have a few of them handy.  I add Stabil, fill the tank up and pull the battery out and bring it inside.  I put the battery on some 2 X 4's and trickle charge it every 4-5 weeks while in storage.  I throw a car cover on that I have had for 19 years, and that's it.

Thanks. I will go the simple route!
