I havent heard this... leaving exposed metal parts would be worse anyway. One thing I should add to my previous post is that gas will be OK for 6 months IN THE WINTER... you leave it in your snowblower for 6 months when the temperature is higher and the chemistry takes over. I dont trust any of that gas stabilizer stuff... snake oil in my opinion but then again, Im not a chemist. I read once that opened oil looses some of it's > lubricating properties after time, so I don't add new until startup. Being > able to start the motor with fresh, clean, new oil works for me! > Also, I pull the plugs before storage and squirt alotta motor oil into each > cyl. and crank it over to distribute it thru........ The issue with your Impala will be the ABS, ABS cant sit... it will cause problems. I dont know if they use DOT 5 in it or not but from what Ive heard it would lend me to think that they dont.
