So for most of us s2k owners, it’s almost that time of year again to pull the car out of the garage and get her ready for the season. Being that it’s about that time, I figured I’d start this and get some ideas or comments on what everyone does with the car to get it ready. To start off the season this year, I’m looking at doing a couple things: -Differential fluid -Spark plugs -Air filter -Cabin filter -Transmission Fluid -Oil change (changed it about 50-100 miles before putting the car away) What are you expecting to do to the car when you pull it out of storage. For those that have access to the car all winter long, what have you been up to? I figured since we have so many s2k guys now, we can have a devoted thread if there isn’t already one. s2k owners and the cars you can spot: Yamba6 ![http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/fall_zps7c84ce34.jpg](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a620/kdunn2/fall_zps7c84ce34.jpg) Saxon ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/8531769463_37827bf707_zps67874f3d.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/8531769463_37827bf707_zps67874f3d.jpg) rugsr ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/image_zps02c2e6b5.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/image_zps02c2e6b5.jpg) skurge deebo oneslowdsm maksim2000 8thcivic ---

I’m not cool enough for this thread but why change the oil? I understand the other ones and actually plan I doing those myself, but if you just changed the oil last season it doesn’t go bad lol. ---

^ +1. If the oil was “used” by being ran and then sat for 6 months I’d change it. ---

I understand the other ones and actually plan I doing those myself, but if you just changed the oil last season it doesn’t go bad lol. I’d like to just give it a good run for a week or two to get what ever might have settled to break up, then drain and be fresh. I figured it would be more of a Cleaning for the engine. A nice flush with good fluids instead of waiting for a full change. Anyways, anyone up for a meet and clean/wrench day? ---

Put in new fluid and your good. You only need a “double flush” it the motor sat for 20 years with the intake off. ---
