Okay so I waited a week longer thinking I had the time. Didn't work out. We already have 20 centimetres up here. I will be storing the car ASAP. This means driving to my folks house to put in their garage. I live on my own here near the University and don't have a garage. I drove the car last winter but, stored it the winter before that. I just don't drive the thing much now, I even walk to school I live so close so I haven't been driving the car much for months.

I can't get an appointment for an oil change at the one dealer here and I'm too busy to be screwing around changing the oil and coolant. I did flush the coolant in the spring though.

Will I be able to get by if I take out the plugs....pour oil into each cylinder and then put the plugs back in?

I'm thinking of just drowning the engine by filling it right up will synthetic for the winter months. I could do a proper round of fluid flushing in the spring, obviously before even starting it.

Tips advice very much appreciated....have I missed anything? I'm doing the usual routine, I've waxed the car and have done a clay bar treatment. One more wash before the garage. I will take out the entire interior like I did 2 years ago.

Please...no a55holes talking about how great the weather is in FL or AZ and the like....

-Mike
