Well, Corvairs are one of the easiest cars to winterize. Run it a good long
time (preferably driven); long enough to get it fully warmed up (so the oil is
warm and any condensation is dried out of the muffler and crankcase). Change
the oil and filter, disconnect the battery cables, and that's about that.
About every two months, put an automatic battery charger on it at a low rate for a
couple of hours and check for low tires. That's all I have ever done, here
80 miles from the Canadian border, just west of the Rockies. (It gets pretty
cold here too!)
