I have been given the honour of writing an article for my University newspaper, to write tips on how to Winterize a car and how to store it properly in the parking lot for those who live on compus, and only drive once a week for groceries or to go out.

I am gonna mention changing fluids, upping tire pressure, pulling up the wipers from the window (if possible) when the temps are sub-zero, using Rain-X to make ice-scraping easier, the need for fuel stabilizer on at least a 3/4 tank, and make note to mention disconnecting the negative terminal.

Am I missing anything else? Why do we exactly disconnect the negative terminal? Is it so that you don't discharge the battery?? Not too sure about the exact reason. Any comments and suggestions appreciated.
