Any storage tips?
I put my CL-S up for the winter back in mid December. Last week I decided I better start it up for a while just to get the juices flowing. The next day I went to my Acura dealer and asked him if I should be doing anything different.
He advised me that starting the vehicle without driving it could cause either the gas to get contaminated with oil or vise versa I can’t remember, because not driving it doesn’t allow it to hit the higher rpms. He said instead of starting it I may want to just get a battery charger.
Does that sound correct or is there something else I should be doing. Has anyone else parked his or her CL-S for the winter?
