Engine Storage
If the vehicle must be parked for a period
(more than 30 days), protect it as follows:
1 Drain the engine oil.
2 Fill up to the proper level with oil of the
recommended quality and viscosity.
3 Fill up the fuel tanks with the
recommended grade of fuel.
4 Run the engine for two minutes around
1000 rpm. Shut the engine down. DO
NOT drain the oil after this run.
5 Check the engine air filter and, if
necessary, change it.
6 Check the coolant for proper levels
of antifreeze and inhibitor (SCA)
protection. Service as necessary.
7 Clean the exterior of the engine.
8 Seal all engine openings using a
waterproof, vaporproof and strong tape.
To return an engine preserved in this manner
can be done in a short time by removing the
seals and checking all engine fluids: coolant,
fuel, crankcase oil. Also check all other
component fluid levels on the vehicle.
