One question that always comes up is “Do you have a High Zinc Motor Oil?” The answer is yes, AMSOIL Z-Rod Oil is specially formulated to protect your classic car and has high zinc to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers & other critical components.
Store Your Muscle Car in the Right Conditions
When it comes to a muscle car vs. your everyday car, your muscle car needs to be stored appropriately when not in use to preserve original, or even custom, the parts like paint and interior in mint condition.
When considering where to store your car, think about the weather conditions around your area. If your garage is not suitable, consider a private storage option with a more controlled climate.
Alternatively, speak with your local mechanic about any coverings that can protect against natural build-up.
Prevent Your Battery from Losing Its Charge
When you are looking to store your muscle car during the winter months, it is highly recommended to contact a trickle charger to the battery to keep it topped off.
The next time you are servicing (or admiring) your muscle car, check the battery and terminals for any accumulation. Of course, the best way to keep your battery from losing its charge is to take your car out and let the world appreciate it as much as you do.
Don’t Let the Gas Go Bad
Sitting for a few months your gas can gum up and varnish creating some major issues to fix. Make sure you get a bottle of AMSOIL Fuel Stabilizer so when you start your classic up it purs like the monster it is. AMSOIL has a comprehensive line of Fuel Additives you may want to review.
