    This is the storage recommendation from the 2018 Mustang GT Owners Manual.

    • Start the engine every 15 days for a minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast idle with the climate controls set to defrost until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

    You beat me to it! I remember reading this in my owners manual (for my 2012 Boss302) as well. I'm wondering if this is something that's come about for newer cars vs. the classic car era? Would be interesting to find out the thought process behind this recommendation and WHEN Ford introduced it into their product owners manual.

    For me, my Shelby stays off still I'm ready to put her back on the road in the spring. I'll have to check the owners manual to see what it says.....
