I still prefer the fall oil change so the nasty and possibly acidic oil dont remain on parts like what you mentioned and the parts get a fresh clean coat of oil as shes put away. If careful in the spring whens shes at a long time, slowly cracking a drain plug open just a tad should let any water thats settled in the bototm from condensation to drain out. I believe in keeping the gas tanks full so theres less oxygen to react with the tanks insides n rust plus less volume for condensation. I use Sta Bil in the gas to keep it from gumming n varnishing up so bad plus low ash 2 cycle oil in the gas so the carbs internals hopefully have a deposit of thin oil film to prevent oxygen contact n rust. Its best if one can exercise n run the engine now n then letting them warm up to bake out moisture and move things around to oil coat any seals to prevent drying n shrinkage. A trickle charge now n then is good for storage batteries also and be sure they are topped off with electrolyte. On tools n machinery that sets out, I used to use a garden sprayer to coat it with oil mixed with Diesel fuel and spray lithium grease on critical components to protect from moisture. Good topic for discussion this time of year Take care yall John T
