So I will be putting my 2017 GT away for the winter this weekend. I’ve got my tarp to park on, bounce sheets for the mice, steel wool for the pipes, fuel stabilizer, four stage battery tender, etc. Put it to sleep until the spring, right?
Here’s the thing....
The manual right from Ford says nothing about fuel stabilizer. It says to start the car and run it for 15 minutes every 15 days. No tender for the battery. On top of that, the top service manager at Meadowvale Ford told me not to even think about changing the oil now or in the spring as I only have 1900 kms on the car. (10,000 kms recommended schedule for oil changes). Manual says to change it?

My idea is to leave the battery hooked up so I don’t mess up the computer and let the float program in the battery tender take care of things until the spring. It worked for my bike for 10 years. I think I will skip the oil change also.

What do you fine people think about all of that?
